Taxonomy
The genus Ketupa was introduced in 1830 by the French naturalist
tautonymy, the buffy fish owl.[3] The genus name is derived from the Malay word Ketupok for the buffy fish owl.[4]
This genus formerly contained fewer species. A
monophyletic genera, nine species were moved from Bubo to Ketupa. Four of these species (shelleyi, coromandus, leucosticta, and philippinensis) had not been sampled in the genetic studies but were assumed to belong to Ketupa based on their morphological similarities to those species that had been sampled. Scotopelia (containing the fishing owls) was retained as a separate genus, although the genetic results suggested that the Scotopelia may be embedded within Ketupa.[5][6][7]
The genus now contains twelve species:[7]
- Fraser's eagle-owl, Ketupa poensis – formerly placed in Bubo
- Akun eagle-owl, Ketupa leucosticta – formerly placed in Bubo
- Verreaux's eagle-owl, Ketupa lactea – formerly placed in Bubo
- Shelley's eagle-owl, Ketupa shelleyi – formerly placed in Bubo
- Blakiston's fish owl, Ketupa blakistoni – formerly placed in Bubo
- Brown fish owl, Ketupa zeylonensis
- Tawny fish owl, Ketupa flavipes
- Buffy fish owl, Ketupa ketupu
- Barred eagle-owl, Ketupa sumatrana – formerly placed in Bubo
- Spot-bellied eagle-owl, Ketupa nipalensis – formerly placed in Bubo
- Dusky eagle-owl, Ketupa coromanda – formerly placed in Bubo
- Philippine eagle-owl, Ketupa philippensis – formerly placed in Bubo
