Described as Amblypterus anomalus Gould 1837. Type locality given as Demerara; error, São Paulo, Brazil designated as emended type locality by Pinto 1938
Later Gray (1840) proposed the genus Eleothreptus, with type species Amblypterus anomalus Gould. Eleothreptus was considered to be a monotypic genus until very recently (e.g. Peters 1940, Dickinson 2003). Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequence data, from both mitochondrial and nuclear genes, reveals that "Caprimulgus" candicans (White-winged Nightjar) is sister to anomalus (Larsen et al. 2007, Han et al. 2010, Sigurdsson and Cracraft 2014), and now also is classified in Eleothreptus (Dickinson and Remsen 2013). The sister to Eleothreptus is Systellura longirostris (Band-winged Nightjar) Larsen et al. 2007, Han et al. 2010, Sigurdsson and Cracraft 2014).
