Family SPHENISCIDAE: Penguins, Pinguinos 



SPHENISCUS MENDICULUS Sundevall: Galapagos Penguin, 

 Pingiiino de las Galapagos 



Spheniscus mendiculus Sundevall, 1871, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, pp. 126, 129. 

 (Galapagos Islands.) 



"Only record is an immature captured alive in the surf at Puerto 

 Armuelles, Chiriqui, by a local fisherman in February 1955. The bird 

 was kept alive for a month, then died, and was ultimately prepared as 

 a specimen, now at the Smithsonian. It seems likely that the bird was 

 captured by some visiting vessel in the Galapagos, then released (or 

 escaped) off Chiriqui" (Ridgely, 1976, p. 27). On the other hand 

 it should be noted that individuals of many other species of penguins 

 have turned up as vagrants far out of their normal range. This species 

 normally is confined to the Galapagos Islands.
