*196. Cnculus canorus minor Brehm = Cuculus canorus minor. 



Cucnlus canorus minor A. E. Brehm, Allg. D. Naturh. Zeit. 1857. p. 444. (Probably not published 

 before 1858— " Nord— und Mittelspanien ").* 



Type : $ ad., Enguera, province of Valencia, 12. vii. 1856. A. E. Brehm leg. 



No type was marked, but this ? may, I think, be looked upon as the type. 

 While C. c. minor is the form which inhabits Spain and N.W. Africa in summer 

 and propagates there, Cuculus canorus canorus passes through on migration in 

 autumn and spring.

 Oxylophus minor Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 53 (1855 — New name for Cuculus macrourus). 



Type : $ ad., Liibben a.d. Spree, Nieder-Lausitz, August 1813. First 

 specimen ever obtained in Germany. 



198. Colaptes ferrugineus Brehm = Micropternus hrachyurus hrachyurus. 



Colaptes ferrugineus Brehm, Allg. D. Naturh.. Zeit. 1856. p. 464 (Java). 

 Type " ? Java." (Probably from Bole.) 



199. Scops minor Brehm = Otus scops scops. 



Scops minor Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 43 (1855 — Karnthen and Dalmatien). 



Type: cJ ad., " Zauchen in Karnthen," 10. v. 1836. (There may be a 

 " Zauchen " in Carinthia, but I can only find Zauchen in Styria). 



200. Scops rupestris Brehm = Otv^ scops scops. 

 Scops rwpestris Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 43 (1855— Italy). 



Type : ? ad., caught at nest, Pisa, 20. vi. 1829. 



201. Scops rufescens Brehm = Otus scops scops. 



Scops rufescens Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 43 (South France). 



Type : ? ad.. South France. 



A strongly rufescent specimen ; such strongly developed erythrisms are 

 rare among 0. scops. 



202. Scops pygmea Brehm = Otus senegalensis senegalensis. 

 Scops pygmea Brehm, Vogdfanj, p. 43 (1855 — " Im Winter in Nordostafrika "). 



Type : <? ad., Sennaar, 10. i. 1851. A. E. Brehm leg. 



In Vog. pal. Fauna, ii. p. 982, I called this bird Otus capensis senegalensis, 

 and quoted for Scops capensis " Smith, 8. Ajr. Quart. Journ., 2nd ser. no. 4. 

 part. i. p. 316. 1834," but it should have been 314, not 316. Moreover, now 

 that these little owls are called Otus, the specific name must be senegalensis, 



* What is Cuculus brachijrhynchos Brehm, Allg. D. Naturh. Zeit. 1856. p. 457 (Japan, from 

 Tilesius) ? It must, I think, be C. canorus telephonus or G. optatus. Type not in the collection, 

 t This is the first appearanoe of the name. See alao Lehrb. Naturg. aller eur. Vog. i. p. 128 ( 1823).
