The brown wood owl (Strix leptogrammica) is found in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Taiwan, and south China.

 grammikos linear, lined.
 γρᾰμμή (grammḗ, “a stroke or line of a pen”, “a line as in mathematical figures”) +‎ -ῐκός (-ikós, “of or pertaining to”, “in the manner of”).

Strix is a genus of owls in the typical owl family (Strigidae). Common names are earless owls or wood owls, though they are not the only owls without ear tufts, and "wood owl" is also used for forest-dwelling owls. Neotropical birds in the genus Ciccaba are sometimes included in Strix.
