. Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club. Birds. M. Indrawan & S. Somadikarta 160 Bull. 2004 124(3) A new hawk-owl from the Togian Islands, Gulf of Tomini, central Sulawesi, Indonesia by M. Indrawan & S. Somadikarta Received 17 November 2003 The Togian Islands in the Gulf of Tomini, central Sulawesi, Indonesia (Fig. 1) are small islands, of which is covered by lowland forest. The archipelago is separated from central Sulawesi by largely shallow water, in places less than 200 m deep. Ornithological explorations have recently been mounted to the group (Indrawan et al. unpubl.), but no endemic bird species were previously known. The avifauna of Sulawesi includes two species of barn owls (Tytonidae) and four typical owls (Strigidae). The former family is represented in Sulawesi by the endemic Minahassa Masked-owl Tyto inexspectata and Sulawesi Owl T. rosenbergii, which is endemic to Wallacea. The four other owls of mainland Sulawesi are: the northern winter visitor, Brown Hawk-owl Ninox scutulata, and three Sulawesi endemics, Sulawesi Scops-owl Otus manadensis, Ochre-bellied Hawk-owl Ninox ochracea and the recently discovered Cinnabar Hawk-owl N ios (Rasmussen 1999, Lee & Riley 2001)..
