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.
