The genus was introduced in 1912 by the Australian ornithologist Gregory Mathews with the graceful honeyeater (''Microptilotis gracilis'') as the type species. The genus name ''Microptilotis'' combines the Ancient Greek ''mikros'' meaning "small" and the genus name ''Ptilotis''. The genus contains 10 species: * Mottle-breasted honeyeater (''Microptilotis mimikae'') * Forest honeyeater (''Microptilotis montana'') * Mountain honeyeater (''Microptilotis orientalis'') * Scrub honeyeater (''Microptilotis albonotata'') * Mimic honeyeater (''Microptilotis analoga'') * Tagula honeyeater (''Microptilotis vicina'') * Graceful honeyeater (''Microptilotis gracilis'') * Cryptic honeyeater (''Microptilotis imitatrix'') * Elegant honeyeater (''Microptilotis cinereifrons'') * Yellow-gaped honeyeater (''Microptilotis flavirictus'') The species now placed in ''Microptilotis'' were formerly placed in the genus ...
