Systematics

The name Pseudastur was coined by Edward Blyth, but was first published in George Robert Gray's Index.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] The type species is the white hawk, Falco albicollis Latham, 1790.

The species were placed for some time in the genus Leucopternis, however this genus was found to be polyphyletic. In 2012 the American Ornithologists' Union split Leucopternis, placing the white hawk and its relatives under the old name Pseudastur.^[5]
