Subspecies
BirdLife International's treatment of African Barred Owlet (Glaucidium capense) currently includes ngamiense and scheffleri, contra Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993) but recognises castaneum and albertinum as separate species contra Dowsett and Forbes-Watson (1993) who include albertinum and castaneum in capense.
Has been suggested as forming superspecies with African Barred Owlet (Glaucidium capense) and Albertine Owlet (Glaucidium albertinum). Has been treated as conspecific with African Barred Owlet (Glaucidium capense) or sometimes a disjunct subspecies etchecopari alone placed with African Barred Owlet (Glaucidium capense) or even treated as separate species on grounds of distribution and ecology.
The following 2 subspecies are recognised:
- etchecopari Neumann, 1893 - Patchily in Liberia and Ivory Coast.
- castaneum Neumann, 1893 - North-eastern Zaire (Semliki Valley) and south-western Uganda (Bwamba Forest).
