<i>Falco columbarius insignis</i> Clark 1907, a new taxon for Italy and Europe
A Merlin (Falco columbarius) specimen collected in Piemonte (NW Italy) in the winter of 1952 and preserved in the “Admetos Rolando Barberis” collection is here attributed to F. c. insignis, a subspecies breeding in north-eastern Siberia, east of the Yenisey River. This form is reported for the first time in Italy and Europe.
