(2006). Spizaetus africanus and Hieraaetus fasciatus (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) have both been transferred into Aquila, also following Haring et al. (2006); and Hieraaetus kienerii (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been transferred into the resurrected genus Lophotriorchis.

Subspecies limnaeetus (incorporating andamanensis and vanheurni) and floris sometimes considered two separate species on grounds of plumage and lack of crest, but behaviour appears to be identical.

The following 6 subspecies are recognised:

• cirrhatus (Gmelin, 1788)   -  India south of Rajasthan and Gangetic Plain.
• ceylanensis (Gmelin, JF, 1788)   -  Sri Lanka.
• andamanensis (Tytler, 1865)   -  Andaman Is.
• limnaeetus (Horsfield, 1821)   -  Northern India and Nepal through Burma, western and southern Indochina and Malay Peninsula to Greater Sundas and western and south-eastern Philippines (Palawan, Mindoro, Mindanao).
• vanheurni (Junge, 1936)   -  Simeulue I (off western Sumatra).
• floris Hartert, 1898   -  Lesser Sundas (Sumbawa, Komodo, Flores and Paloe).
