It is found in western and central Africa. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. == Taxonomy and systematics == Ansorge's greenbul was originally described in the genus Andropadus and was re-classified to the genus Eurillas in 2010. Alternatively, some authorities classify Ansorge's greenbul in the genus Pycnonotus. Some authorities have considered Ansorge's greenbul as a subspecies of the little grey greenbul. The common name and scientific name commemorate the British explorer and collector William John Ansorge who collected natural history specimens in Africa. === Subspecies === Two subspecies are recognized: Ansorge's little grey greenbul (E. a. ansorgei) - (Hartert, 1907): Found from western Guinea to south-western Uganda and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo Kavirondo little grey greenbul (E. a. kavirondensis) - (van Someren, 1920): Originally described as a separate species. Found in western Kenya
