The Puerto Rican screech owl (''Megascops nudipes'') or ''Múcaro'' (Spanish via Taino) is a nocturnal endemic owl of the archipelago of Puerto Rico belonging to the ''Megascops'' genus of the family Strigidae. The subspecies, ''M. n . newtoni'', which was endemic to the Virgin Islands, was locally referred to as the cuckoo bird. ==Taxonomy== The nominate form, ''M. n. nudipes'', was originally described in 1800 by French ornithologist François Marie Daudin in ''Traite elementaire et complet d'Ornithologie, ou Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux'' as ''Otus nudipes''. The species name, ''nudipes'', makes reference to its bare legs and toes which are unusual among ''Megascops'' species. The recognized subspecies, ''M. n. newtoni'', was described in 1860 by Lawrence in the ''Annals of the Lyceum of Natural History'' and is considered extinct.〔A 1995 survey in the Virgin Islands did not find any individuals.〕 Furthermore, the validity of this subspecies has been questioned.
