北美和欧洲相对丰富的猫头鹰(鸟纲、鸮形目)化石记录与非洲鸮形目化石的匮乏形成鲜明对比。非洲古近纪猫头鹰化石的首次出现,将非洲大陆这一分支的化石记录延长了 2500 万年,并证实渐新世大陆动物群中存在大型猫头鹰。这块新化石暂时被称为月鸟亚科(Selenornithinae),这是一个以前仅限于欧洲的大型猫头鹰分支。这种新的猫头鹰化石的大小可能与现存的腹股沟猫头鹰属相似,这表明大型、飞行的陆生鸟类捕食者的生态位虽然在鸟类进化史上相对罕见,但可能是一种生态角色,在已灭绝的猫头鹰中比以前认识到的更为常见。
The relatively extensive fossil record of owls (Aves, Strigiformes) in North America and Europe stands in stark contrast to the paucity of fossil strigiformes from Africa. The first occurrence of a fossil owl from the Paleogene of Africa extends the fossil record of this clade on that continent by as much as 25 million years, and confirms the presence of large-sized owls in Oligocene continental faunas. The new fossil is tentatively referred to the Selenornithinae, a clade of large owls previously restricted to Europe. This new fossil owl was likely similar in size to the extant Eagle Owls of the genus Bubo, and suggests that the niche of large, volant, terrestrial avian predator, although relatively rare throughout avian evolutionary history, may be an ecological role that was more common among extinct owls than previously recognized.
