The taxonomy of the stilts is particularly debated, with the genus Himantopus considered to have two to six species.

The generic name "Himantopus" comes from the Greek meaning "strap-leg".

The Hawaiian Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni) is named for him.

Himantopus leucocephalus.

However, the AOU has always considered it a species in its own right, and the scientific name Himantopus mexicanus is often seen.

The third major threat to this species is hybridization with the local and more numerous Pied Stilt H. himantopus.

Thus, in their scheme the Black-necked Stilt is properly named Himantopus mexicanus mexicanus.

The Black Stilt or Kakī (Māori), Himantopus novaezelandiae, is a large wader in the avocet and stilt family Recurvirostridae.

Opinions differ as to whether the birds treated under the scientific name H. himantopus ought to be treated as a single species and if not, how many species to recognize.

It is often treated as a subspecies of the Common or Black-winged Stilt, using the trinomial name Himantopus himantopus mexicanus.

Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus), The Birds of North America Online (A. Poole, Ed.)

A fossil stilt has been described as Himantopus olsoni, based on remains recovered in the Late Miocene Big Sandy Formation of Wickieup, USA.
