Taxonomic note
Hydrobates castro (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) has been split into H. castro and H. jabejabe (which see) (Handbook of the Birds of the World and BirdLife International 2018). Previously, Oceanodroma castro (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) was been split into O. castro and O. monteiroi following Bolton et al. (2008) and all Oceanodroma species were moved to Hydrobates (del Hoyo and Collar 2014).

Population justification: Brooke (2004) estimated the global population to number around 150,000 individuals. The European population is estimated at 6,600-6,900 pairs, which equates to 13,100-13,700 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2015).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to predation by invasive species and unsustainable levels of exploitation. The European population trend is unknown (BirdLife International 2015).
