Cuban Nightjar
The Cuban nightjar (''Antrostomus cubanensis''), is a species of nightjar in the family Caprimulgidae. It is endemic to Cuba. Taxonomy and systematics The Cuban nightjar was originally described as ''Antrostomus cubanensis''; the genus was later lumped into genus ''Caprimulgus'' and still later restored as a separate genus. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC), BirdLife International's ''Handbook of the Birds of the World'' (HBW), and the Clements taxonomy consider it a species. According to them the Cuban nightjar has two subspecies, the nominate ''A. c. cubanensis'' and ''A. c. insulaepinorum''. The American Ornithological Society (AOS) considers those two subspecies and the Hispaniolan nightjar to be subspecies of the Greater Antillean nightjar.Weber, D. (2020).

Hispaniolan Nightjar
The Hispaniolan nightjar (''Antrostomus ekmani'') is a nightjar species endemic to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, which is shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Taxonomy and systematics The Hispaniolan nightjar was originally described as ''Antrostomus ekmani''; the genus was later lumped into genus ''Caprimulgus'' and still later restored as a separate genus. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC), BirdLife International's ''Handbook of the Birds of the World'' (HBW), and the Clements taxonomy consider it a monotypic species. The American Ornithological Society (AOS) considers it and the two subspecies of the Cuban nightjar (''A. cubanensis'') to be subspecies of the Greater Antillean nightjar.Weber, D. (2020).
