Résumé :	A new dichotomous key to the identification of the Afrotropical nightjars, based mainly on mensural characters, is presented. This replaces the author's 1984 key to the nightjar species of Africa and Its islands, which has been revised to incorporate extensive additional data and to take into account the subsequent description of two new African species and the elevation of three subspecies to species status. The biometrics of 21 key characters, hosed on the measurements of 1351 specimens, ore included in five supporting tables. Some data are shown separately for the sexes, for a few subspecies and for the immature moles of one species.
