Now Turdus merula cabrerae Hartert, 1901 View in CoL . See Hartert, 1920: 477, and Clement, 2000: 352– 353.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 574931 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Mercedes , Tenerife , Canary Islands , on 20 February 1901, by Curt Floericke (no. 1250). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Tenerife was given as the type locality, but no type specimen was listed. Later, Hartert (1920: 477) designated Floericke’s specimen no. 1250 as the lectotype. During his short stay in the Canary Islands, Hartert (1901c: 335) collected a few birds and bought others from Floericke (in Santa Cruz, according to a note on the Rothschild type label). A second Floericke (no. 1182) specimen, AMNH 574932, adult male collected at Mercedes on 9 January 1901, is a paralectotype.

Molecular studies of Turdus merula are reported by Wink et al. (2002a, 2002b).
