Kiwi are all members of the genus Apteryx. Names differ according to the species. It is generally accepted that there are five species of kiwi.
- Brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli)
- Rowi, or Okarito Rowi (Apteryx rowi)
- Tokoeka (Apteryx australis)
- Great spotted kiwi or roroa (Apteryx haasti)
- Little spotted kiwi (Apteryx owenii)
The Brown kiwi is then divided into four distinct groups: the Northland, Coromandel, western and the eastern brown kiwi; while the Tokoeka is also divided into four distinct groups - the Haast tokoeka, the northern Fiordland tokoeka, the southern Fiordland tokoeka and the Stewart Island tokoeka.
However, the 'Checklist of the Birds of New Zealand' by the Ornithological Society of New Zealand, published 2010, lists seven species:
- Great Spotted (A. haastii)
- Little spotted (A. owenii)
- North Island Brown (A. mantelli),
- Okarito Brown (A. rowi)
- South Island Brown (A. australis australis)
- Southern brown (A. australis)
- Stewart Island brown (A. australis lawryi)

What bird is the kiwis extinct cousin?
The kiwi's extinct cousin is known as the elephant bird (Aepyornithidae). The elephant bird was a large, flightless bird native to the island of Madagascar. It is considered one of the largest birds to have ever existed. These birds went extinct several centuries ago, likely due to a combination of factors, including habitat loss and hunting by humans. The kiwi and the elephant bird are not closely related in terms of taxonomy, but they share some similarities due to convergent evolution. Both are flightless, ground-dwelling birds with small wings and a long, slender bill. They also have similar ecological roles as they both fill niches similar to those of small mammals in their respective ecosystems. Kiwis, which are native to New Zealand, are the closest living relatives to the extinct elephant bird.
