The African Pygmy Falcons of the genus Polibkirax, together with four other genera (Spiziapteryx, Gampsonyx, Microhierax, and Neohierax), have been placed in the subfamily Polihieracinae (Peters, 1931:281-284). Except for some general comments on Microhierax (Beddard, 1898:473-474; Pycraft, 1902:297; Friedmann, 1950:3), apparently nothing has been published on the internal anatomy of these genera. I am indebted to Mr. John G. Williams of the Coryndon Museum, Nairobi, East Africa, for sendinig me an ...
