It belongs to the family Accipitridae and was described by des Murs in 1845. It is a forest raptor and is linked with Spizaetus rather than the monotypic genus Oroaetus. It builds a large nest in a tall tree. Habitat destruction and persecution have driven declines, and it is listed as Endangered by the IUCN.
