Species
Traditionally, Leucopternis contains significantly more species than given here. However, as the genus probably was polyphyletic,[2] moves of species to other genera were proposed[3] and have been accepted by the American Ornithologists' Union's South American Check-list Committee[4] and North American Check-list Committee,[5] except that the South American Committee placed the former L. lacernulatus in the existing genus Buteogallus instead of in a new genus Amadonastur by itself. The other species were placed in the genera Cryptoleucopteryx, Morphnarchus, Pseudastur, and Buteogallus. According to this treatment, the species remaining in Leucopternis are:
