Subspecies
Aegotheles insignis (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Feline Owlet-Nightjar (Aegotheles insignis ) and Spangled Owlet-nightjar (Aegotheles tatei ) following Pratt (2000).
Possibly forms a superspecies with Feline Owlet-Nightjar (Aegotheles insignis ) and Long-whiskered Owlet-Nightjar (Aegotheles crinifrons ). Formerly treated as lowland subspecies of Feline Owlet-Nightjar (Aegotheles insignis ), but recent studies indicate that it is a separate species.
No subspecies.
