- Accipiter striatus Vieillot, 1808 Sharp-shinned Hawk; Gavilancito Accipiter striatus Vieillot, 1808, 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).
