Megascops barbarus. (Scl. and Salv.) 



One darkly colored specimen from Mexico. 



There is another INfegascops (No. 2442) from Panama, reddish- 

 brown above with very fine transverse markings, and marked 

 below with rufous cross bars, very fine and very close together so as 

 to appear nearly uniform on the breast. This specimen does not 

 agree well with any described phase, but is perhaps related to 

 barbarus.
