Taxonomy and systematics
Illustration by Keulemans, 1881

Alternate names for the cream-vented bulbul include the white-eyed brown bulbul and white-eyed bulbul. The latter alternate name is also shared with the white-spectacled bulbul.
Subspecies

Four subspecies are recognized:[2]

P. s. simplex - Lesson, 1839: Found from Malay Peninsula to Sumatra and nearby islands.
P. s. perplexus - Chasen & Kloss, 1929: Found on Borneo and nearby islands. White-eyed populations of bulbuls on Borneo formerly thought to belong to this species are now considered a distinct species, the cream-eyed bulbul (P. pseudosimplex).
P. s. prillwitzi - Hartert, 1902: Originally described as a separate species. Found on Java
P. s. halizonus - Oberholser, 1917: Found on Anambas and northern Natuna Islands
