Subspecies
Spilornis minimus (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Great Nicobar Serpent-Eagle (Spilornis klossi) with the remainder (i.e. nominate minimus) lumped with Crested Serpent-Eagle (Spilornis cheela) following Rasmussen and Anderton (2005).
Taxonomic status uncertain, although existence of two species of Spilornis in Nicobar Is generally agreed upon: present species sometimes considered conspecific with Crested Serpent-Eagle (Spilornis cheela). Subspecies minimus of Crested Serpent-Eagle (Spilornis cheela) often awarded full species status, in which case usually considered to include Great Nicobar Serpent-Eagle (Spilornis klossi) as subspecies. Currently considered to form superspecies with Crested Serpent-Eagle (Spilornis cheela), Kinabalu Serpent-Eagle (Spilornis kinabaluensis), Sulawesi Serpent-Eagle (Spilornis rufipectus) and Philippine Serpent-Eagle (Spilornis holospilus).
No subspecies.
