Taxonomy
The Cuban palm crow was formally described in 1852 under the binomial name Corvus minutus by the German born ornithologist Juan Gundlach. The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised. The Cuban palm crow was formerly treated as a subspecies of the Hispaniolan palm crow (Corvus palmarum).
The following cladogram is based on phylogenetic study of the Corvidae by Knud Jønsson and collaborators that was published in 2012.
