    Taxonomy and systematics


    The Benguela long-billed lark was originally placed in the genus Alaemon. Confusingly, the terms Damara longbill and Damaraland long-billed lark are used for both the Karoo long-billed lark and a subspecies of the Benguela long-billed lark. Clements lumps this bird with the Karoo long-billed lark.
