COMMENTS: In the original description, Koelz (1939: 64) gave the wing measurement of the holotype from Farah as 90.5 mm (I measure 91.0) ; this is the specimen bearing the AMNH type label. He listed one paratype from Farah, bearing the same data as the holotype ; this is AMNH 465721 About AMNH , the wing of which I measure as 89.0 mm. Additional paratypes are AMNH 465722–465728 About AMNH from Kandahar .

Sibley and Monroe (1990: 584) considered leucotis an allospecies within the superspecies cafer .
