Most classification schemes recognize two species in this genus the Oriental Bay Owl Phodilus badius and the Congo Bay Owl Phodilus prigoginei . The latter is not well known and was initially considered a subspecies of P. badius today, however, it is not clear whether the African species would not be better placed in Tyto or a monotypic genus. Both species are nocturnal, and appear similar to other barn owls they are generally smaller, have ear like feather tufts hardly visible in the African species , and a more U shaped facial disk. An apparently extinct population from Samar Island might constitute a third species, but the only known specimen has been lost. References Bruce, M. D. 1999 Family Tytonidae Barn owls .
