HOLOTYPE: AMNH 290240 About AMNH , adult male, collected on the Plateau , 1900 m, Middle Altas Mountains, Morocco, on 27 April 1929, by E. Hartert and E. Flükiger (no. 302). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Vaurie gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description, and (on p. 3) noted that he measured 22 specimens from Morocco, Algeria, and the Canaries. There are 23 specimens in addition to the type, all marked barbarus by Vaurie, and I have considered all

of them paratypes: Morocco, AMNH 290241– 290245 About AMNH , 675670–675675 About AMNH , 675681 About AMNH , 675682 About AMNH , eight males, five females ; Canaries , AMNH 675668 About AMNH , 675669 About AMNH , two males ; Algeria, AMNH 675683–675690 About AMNH , seven males, one female. The individuals with lower catalog numbers were in a group of specimens presented to AMNH by Rothschild in 1920 .
