Taxonomy and systematics
The species was later described from these specimens as belonging to a new genus and species, Cryptosylvicola randrianasoloi. The generic name Cryptosylvicola was formed from Greek Kryptos, meaning hidden, Latin silva, meaning forest and Latin cola, meaning inhabitant. The name therefore translates to "hidden forest inhabitant". The specific epithet randrianasoloi honors the Malagasy ornithologistGeorges randrianasolo.
