Subspecies
No subspecies.

Pteroptochos tarnii (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Black-throated Huet-huet (Pteroptochos tarnii) and Chestnut-throated Huet-huet (Pteroptochos castaneus) following SACC (2005).

Forms a superspecies with Black-throated Huet-huet (Pteroptochos tarnii), and formerly considered conspecific. The two are geographically separated in western Argentina (Neuqu�n) by a distance of over 200 km. Recent studies have shown, however, that, contrary to earlier beliefs, the upper R B��o B��o does not represent an effective dispersal barrier, suggesting that the two have been in contact several times during fluctuating climatic conditions.
