The little spotted kiwi is a ratite and belongs to the Apterygiformes order, and the Apterygidae family. The genus name Apteryx means 'without wings' and the species is named owenii after Sir Richard Owen. [5] Only the nominate subspecies A. o. owenii survives.

The Stewart Island tokoeka is the largest type of southern brown kiwi. It has red-brown feathers that resemble fur. It has small wings and a long, curved bill. [2] The nostrils are at the end of the bill, not at the top near the rest of its face.
