Long-tufted Screech-owl (Otus sanctaecatarinae) - HBW 5, p. 181
French: Petit-duc à aigrettes longues
German: Langohr-Kreischeule
Spanish: Autillo de Santa Catarina
Taxonomy: Scops sanctæ-catarinæ Salvin, 1897, southern Brazil.
Perhaps a member of a superspecies, along with O. guatemalae, O. vermiculatus, O. hoyi and O. atricapillus. Formerly considered conspecific with O. atricapillus, but vocally and morphologically distinct, and treatment as separate species further supported by DNA evidence. Taxonomy of Otus in S Brazil and Argentine province of Misiones remains to be clarified. Monotypic.
Distribution: SE Brazil (Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul), NE Argentina (Misiones) and Uruguay.
