Subspecies
No subspecies.
Icterus dominicensis (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Greater Antillean Oriole (Icterus dominicensis ) and Black-cowled Oriole (Icterus prosthemelas ) following AOU (2000), and Greater Antillean Oriole (Icterus dominicensis ), Bahama Oriole (Icterus northropi ), Cuban Oriole (Icterus melanopsis ) and Puerto Rican Oriole (Icterus portoricensis ) following AOU (2010).
Often treated as conspecific with Bahama Oriole (Icterus northropi ), Cuban Oriole (Icterus melanopsis ) and Puerto Rican Oriole (Icterus portoricensis ), but molecular-genetic data indicate that they are better treated as separate species. Sometimes Black-cowled Oriole (Icterus prosthemelas ) included within this group.
