While Misotshi-Kabogo appears to be a more appropriate name for the massif, it is most commonly referred to in the literature by the misinterpreted name Kabobo.

[2] There is apparently no widely accepted local name for the mountain range, with most reports referring to the region by the Belgian misnomer Kabobo, the more appropriate Babembe Kabogo, or as Misotshi-Kabogo.

[3] Several taxa are endemic to the massif, and the area is considered a biodiversity hotspot by conservation authorities.

[6] More research is needed to clarify how many unique populations and subspecies occur within the region.

Genetic analyses on the birds of the massif indicate that there is unrecognized diversity in the region, and that several presently recognized subspecies may be worthy of species recognition.
