Glaucidium perlatum licua (Lichtenstein)
An adult male, collected at Naivasha, Rift Valley, altitude 6,400 feet, on 30 November 1965, is considerably paler and more umber above than are other specimens in the USNM collection and may represent the pale phase alluded to by Friedmann (1930), who considers this species to be dichromatic. The wing measured 107 mm.
