Accipiter striatus Vieillot, 1808 View in CoL

Sharp-shinned Hawk; Gavilancito

Accipiter striatus Vieillot, 1808 View in CoL , Hist. Nat. Ois. Amer Sept. 1 (1807), p. 42.

Referred material. San Felipe I: Tarsometatarsus without proximal end, MNHNCu 75.4756.

Description. This specimen is identical to the equivalent element in A. striatus Vieillot, 1808 , and coincides in its smaller size and delicateness with the Cuban subspecies A. s. fringilloides Vigors, 1827 . Tarsometatarsi examined in skeletons of the continental subspecies A. s. velox Wilson, 1812 , are larger (see Wetmore 1937: 428).

Comments. The Sharp-shinned Hawk is today a rare permanent resident in Cuban forests ( Garrido & Kirkconnell 2011: 77). It has been previously registered from cave deposits in western Cuba ( Suárez & Arredondo 1997). MNHNCu 75.4756 was originally identified as Accipiter sp. by Iturralde-Vinent et al. (2000: table 2).
