Species
Major new research into eagle taxonomy suggests that the important genera Aquila and Hieraaetus are not composed of nearest relatives, and it is likely that a reclassification of these genera will soon take place, with some species being moved to Lophaetus or Ictinaetus .
- Bonelli's Eagle , the Booted Eagle and the Little Eagle have been moved from Hieraaetus to Aquila .
- Either the Greater Spotted Eagle and Lesser Spotted Eagle should move from Aquila to join the Long-crested Eagle in Lophaetus , or, perhaps better, all three of these species should move to Ictinaetus with the Black Eagle .
- The Steppe Eagle and Tawny Eagle , once thought to be conspecific, are not even each other's nearest relatives.
