Subspecies
Caprimulgus cubanensis (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Cuban Nightjar (Antrostomus cubanensis) and Hispaniolan Nightjar (Antrostomus ekmani) following Garrido and Reynard (1994), contra AOU (1998). This treatment is under review by the BirdLife Taxonomic Working Group.

May form superspecies with Cuban Nightjar (Antrostomus cubanensis), with which it was until recently considered conspecific, but notable differences in voice.

Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Cuban Nightjar (Antrostomus cubanensis).

No subspecies.
