Taxonomic note
Antrostomus rufus (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) was previously placed in the genus Caprimulgus. Caprimulgus otiosus (Stotz 1996) was lumped into C. rufus following Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993) and AOU (1998). Note that this taxon was treated as a species in Collar and Andrew (1988) but not subsequently.

Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'fairly common' (Stotz et al. 1996).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction (del Hoyo et al. 1999).
