[edit] Taxonomy

Some authorities consider Roraima Screech Owl a subspecies of Vermiculated Screech Owl.

This and almost all Screech Owls in the Americas have previously been considered to belong in the same genus (Otus) as the European and Asian Scops-Owls, but a reassignment to Megascops have been accepted by among other authorities, the American Ornithologists' Union.
