Winge (1887) reported bones of several individuals from

Lapa da Escrivânia V, represented by the scapula, coracoid, humerus, ulna, radius, carpometacarpus, femur, tibiotarsus, and tarsometatarsus, apparently with individual variation. Additionally, there is an ulna and a tarsometatarsus from a “saltpeter cave near Escrivânia”, two coracoids and a tarsometatarsus from Lapa da Lagoa do Sumidouro, a humerus and a tibiotarsus from“various caves” [26], a sternum, a scapula, and a femur of unknown origin, and a scapula, a humerus, and a tarsometatarsus of recent age [28]. He noted that only the distal-most limb bones were determined by comparison with recent bones. The others have the same size and matching characters, which are quite different from Athene cunicularia .

Winge (1887) described remains other than the record above as“ Glaucidium ferox (et aff.)”. They consist of bones of several individuals from Lapa da Escrivânia V, represented by the scapula, coracoid, humerus, ulna, carpometacarpus, femur, tibiotarsus, and tarsometatarsus. Most bones are slightly smaller than those observed in two recent skeletons. However, two left humeri are considerably smaller and slightly different, and Winge speculated they might belong to Glaucidium pumilum ( = minutissimum View in CoL ), not known from the area. Additionally, there are the two coracoids of a very young individual from Lapa da Escrivânia III.
