Tyto furcata

Authors/Creators

Description

Tyto furcata (Temminck, 1827)

White-winged Barn Owl; Lechuza

Strix furcata Temminck, 1827: text accompanying plate 432.

Referred material. San Felipe I: Left tarsometatarsus, MNHNCu 75.4800.

Description. The tarsometatarsus reported here differs from all known large extinct tytonids from Cuba and agrees with the living Tyto furcata Temminck, 1827, by its smaller size and slender shaft (see Suárez & Olson 2015:543). Otherwise, it is larger when compared with Tyto sp. listed below.

Comments. The White-winged Barn Owl is a common permanent resident in Cuba (Garrido & Kirkconnell 2011: 153), where remains are known from Quaternary cave deposits (Arredondo 1972, 1975, 1976, 1982, 1984; Suárez 2000b; Jiménez et al. 2005).
