 | | Major new research [ citation needed ] 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. |
 | | Greater Spotted Eagle, Aquila clanga and Lesser Spotted Eagle, Aquila pomarina should be moved either to join Long-crested Eagle, Lophaetus occipitalis or, perhaps better, all three of these species should move to Ictinaetus with the Black Eagle, Ictinaetus malayensis. |
 | | The Latin aquila may derive from the word "aquilus," meaning dark colored, swarthy, flish, as a description of the eagle's plumage, or from "Aquilo," the Latin version of Greek Boreas, or north wind. |
