Canale & Carcavallo 1985, following Mazza
); (

Note: According to Olrog (1978), three species of
Strix
inhabit
Argentina
,
Strix rufipes rufipes
King, 1828
(Neuquén to Santa Cruz),
Strix rufipes chacoensis
(north to central
Argentina
), and
Strix hylophila
Temmninck, 1825
(Misiones, and eastern
Formosa
). With such distributions, the mention of
Mazza & Schreiber (1938)
may be attributed without doubt to
Strix rufipes chacoensis
.
Noireau
et al
. (1997)
said that the nest of a bird was inhabited by an owl, but the original record of
Mazza & Schreiber (1938)
is about a nest of an owl.
