The hooded monarch was described by the French zoologists Jean Quoy and Joseph Gaimard in 1832 from a specimen which they mistakenly claimed had been collected in Manado on the island of Célèbes (now Sulawesi). They coined the binomial name, Muscicapa manadensis.[2][lower-alpha 1] In 1941 the type locality was redesignated as Manokwari in New Guinea.[4]
The hooded monarch was originally described in the genus Muscicapa and then placed in Monarcha until moved to Symposiachrus in 2009.[5] Alternate names include the black-and-white monarch, black-and-white monarch flycatcher and white-bellied monarch.
