Subspecies
Sometimes considered to form superspecies with Eurasian Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium passerinum), Pearl-spotted Owlet (Glaucidium perlatum), Northern Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium californicum) and Mountain Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium gnoma) (including recently separated Guatemalan Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium cobanense) and Baja Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium hoskinsii)), but DNA evidence clearly shows that Eurasian Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium passerinum) and Northern Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium californicum) are not closely related.
The following 5 subspecies are recognised:
- brodiei (Burton, 1836) - From northern Pakistan through Himalayas to south-eastern Tibet, northern Indochina, south, central and eastern China (including Hainan), and south to Malaysia.
- pardalotum (Swinhoe, 1863) - Taiwan.
- peritum (Bonaparte, 1850) - Sumatra.
- borneense Sharpe, 1893 - Borneo.
