SUMMARYRICH, P. V. and R. J. SCARLETT. 1976.Another look at Megaegotheles, a large owlet-nightjar from New Zealand. Emu 77: 1–8.Megaegotheles, a Pleistocene to sub-Recent relative of the Australasian owlet-nightjarsAegotheles, is re-examined and found to exhibit increase in body-size with increasing latitude. Although the wings of this form are not markedly larger than those ofAegotheles, the hind limb is markedly larger, thus suggesting thatMegaegothelesmay have been flightless or nearly so, the first-known occurrence of this phenomenon in the Caprimulgiformes.
