Subspecies
Otus rutilus (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Pemba Scops-Owl (Otus pembaensis) following Fry et al. (1988), Anjouan Scops-Owl (Otus capnodes) following Dowsett and Forbes-Watson (1993), and, more recently, it was split again into Torotoroka Scops Owl (Otus madagascariensis) and Mayotte Scops-Owl (Otus mayottensis) following Rasmussen et al. (2000) and Madagascar Scops-Owl (Otus rutilus) (with species limits accordingly revised), which is not equivalent to Otus rutilus Dowsett and Forbes-Watson (1993) which includes Pemba Scops-Owl (Otus pembaensis). Torotoroka Scops Owl (Otus madagascariensis) and Madagascar Scops-Owl (Otus rutilus) have now been re-lumped following Fuchs et al. (2007).

Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Madagascar Scops-Owl (Otus rutilus).

No subspecies.
