This genus and related genera are controversial. The species, from White-shouldered Tit to Grey Tit, are sometimes separated as the genus Melaniparus, and the Yellow Tit and the Black-lored Tit are sometimes separated as Macholophus. On the other hand, many authorities expand this genus to include Cyanistes, Lophophanes, Periparus, and Poecile.
