 Puna Rhea is often included with
 Darwin's Rhea
 P. pennata
 in a single species known as Lesser Rhea. 
       Puna Rhea is distributed in northern Chile while Darwin's Rhea is distributed in Patagonia.  The two groups are separated by a large area of unsuitable habitat and, being flightless, it is likely that these two populations have been separated for a long time.
