| Otus madagascariensis (Grandidier, 1867) |
The Torotoroka Scops-owl (Otus madagascariensis) is a species of owl in the Strigidae family. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its distribution and limits to the Malagasy Scops-owl O. rutilus, with which it was long considered conspecific, require further study.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.
