The Rio Napo Screech-Owl (Megascops napensis; originally, Otus napensis) is a species of vermiculated screech-owl. It was first described and noted by ornithologist Frank Michler Chapman in 1928, then classified in the Otus genus. It is commonly distributed in many parts of South America, such as in Eastern Ecuador, the east of Colombia, along the slopes of the Andes, certain regions of Peru, and up into northern Bolivia. The Rio Napo Screech-owl's habitat of preference is typically dense, tropical rainforest, most preferably between 250 and around 1500 metres above sea level.
