%X Geographical variation in size and in colours of plumage is analysed in Ninox rufa. Australian populations are regrouped in three subspecies, one pale and large in north-western Australia (nominate rufa), one pale and small on Cape York Peninsula (to which the new name meesi is given) and one dark and of medium size in north-eastern Queensland south of Cape York Peninsula (queenslandica Mathews). All subspecies are re-described.
