Taxonomy:
- Collocalia lowi orientalis Mayr, 1935, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. Genus often merged into Collocalia. Sometimes treated as forming a superspecies with A. nuditarsus. Formerly considered conspecific with A. whiteheadi. A specimen from Bougainville I was intermediate in size between nominate and race leletensis; although some plumage details were rather different, it was provisionally thought to belong within this species. Two subspecies currently recognized. (source: Handbook of the Birds of World)
