There are few morphological differences that distinguish the extinct insular emus from the mainland emu besides their size, but all three taxa were most often considered distinct species.

It was therefore interpreted as conspecific with the emus of the Australian mainland, and was reclassified as a subspecies of "Dromaius novaehollandiae", "D. n. ater". Other animals present on King Island are also considered as subspecies
