"Charactpn-!. — Very similar to the Celebesian Otus menadensis, from 

 which it may be distinguished by being larger, with upper parts darker, 

 with more of the black vermiculations ; black centers to the feathers of 

 the under parts much less conspicuous; feathers of tarsus more heavily 

 cross-barred with blackish. Of the Philippine species it is most closely 

 related to Otus cuyensis McGregor, but is darker and much smaller, 

 having the same white, black-tipped scapulars, but with the entire plumage 

 darker and more heavily marked, and the wing 15 mm. shorter. It 

 bears no close resemblance to any other Philippine species.
