Comments.

Temminck mentioned that the species was present in the MNHN and originated from the Antilles. Temminck copied Vieillot about the bird’s origin. The syntype is also that of Ninox fusca Vieillot 1817. The type localities are erroneous (Antilles), and therefore corrected and restricted to: West-Timor, near Kupang Bay (article 76a.2.A (ICZN 1999)). Temminck commemorated René Maugé when giving it its Latin name. See Ninox fusca .
