The Rote boobook (Ninox rotiensis) is a species of owl in the family Strigidae. It is endemic to Rote Island in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia.
It was first described in 1997 by Australian biologists Ronald Johnstone and J.C. Darnell from a female collected in a mist net in 1990.[2] It is smaller than the Australian boobook, with heavily barred primaries, rump and tail.[3] Locally common, it is known as Tuterui and Kokorok in Landu and Oelaba localities respectively on the island.[4] Genetic and call analysis show it to be markedly divergent from the Australian populations of the Australian boobook, leading Gwee and colleagues to suggest it be reclassified as a separate species,[5] which duly happened in 2019.

El nínox de Roti (Ninox rotiensis) es una especie de ave strigiforme de la familia Strigidae endémica de la isla de Roti en las islas menores de la Sonda de Indonesia.[1]
Fue descrita científicamente en 1997 por los biólogos australianos Ronald Johnstone y JC Darnell de una hembra recolectada en una red de niebla en 1990.[2] Es más pequeño que el nínox australiano, con las primarias, el obispillo y la cola fuertemente barradas.[3] El análisis genético y de las llamadas muestra que es marcadamente divergente de las poblaciones australianas, lo que llevó a Gwee y a sus colegas a sugerir que se reclasificara como especie separada, lo que sucedió en 2019.[4]
