  1. ^ The Puerto Rican pewee is not an official species recognized by the AOU. The species is a proposed split from the Lesser Antillean pewee (Contopus latirostris) by Rafaelle, H., et al. (1998) in A Guide to the Birds of the West Indies, Princeton University Press, ISBN 0691087369.
  • ^ This species was formerly categorized as Otus nupides, but was subsequently moved to the genus Megascops, and then moved again to its own monospecific genus Gymnasio.
  • ^ This species was formerly a subspecies of Spindalis zena. In 1997 it was elevated to species status: O. H. Garrido; K. C. Parkes; G. B. Reynard; A. Kirkconnell; R. Sutton (1997). "Taxonomy of the Stripe-Headed Tanager, Genus Spindalis (Aves:Thraupidae) of the West Indies". Wilson Bulletin. 109 (4): 561–594.
  • ^ This species was split from Chlorophonia musica based on significant differences in plumage in Species Updates IOC Version 13.2 https://www.worldbirdnames.org/new/updates/species-updates/
