Subspecies
Glaucidium jardinii (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Costa Rican Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium costaricanum) and Andean Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium jardinii) following AOU (2000).
Suggested as forming superspecies with Yungas Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium bolivianum). Has been treated as conspecific with Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium brasilianum), or by some authors as a subspecies of Mountain Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium gnoma) but differs from both in voice, coloration and ecology. Formerly considered to include Costa Rican Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium costaricanum) as a subspecies.
