Described as Caprimulgus salvini Hartert; type locality not specificed; Mirador, Vera Cruz "accepted" as the type locality (Peters 1940)
Together with Antrostomus badius (Yucatan Nightjar), salvini was classified by some authors as a subspecies of Antrostomus sericocaudatus (Silky-tailed Nightjar) (e.g. Peters 1940).
This species was classified for many years in the genus Caprimulgus, a genus that eventually encompassed a large number of species of nightjars worldwide (Salvin and Hartert 1892, Peters 1940, Dickinson 2003). Recent phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequence data, from both mitochondrial and nuclear genes, however, reveals that the broadly defined Caprimulgus of Peters (1940) and other authors is highly polyphyletic (Han et al. 2010, Sigurdsson and Cracraft 2014). Caprimulgus proper is entirely confined to the Old World, and New World species of "Caprimulgus" are split into several clades. Salvini belongs to a clade that is restored to Antrostomus. Sigurdsson and Cracraft (2014) identify salvini as the basal member of a clade that also includes Antrostomus cubanensis (Greater Antillean Nightjar), Antrostomus carolinensis (Chuck-will's-widow), Antrostomus rufus (Rufous Nightjar), Antrostomus badius, and Antrostomus sericocaudatus.
