Parus ater insularis Hellmayr

Parus ater insularis Hellmayr, 1902: 36 (Surugano-kumi).

Now Periparus ater insularis ( Hellmayr, 1902) View in CoL . See Eck and Martens, 2006: 23–28, and Gosler and Clement, 2007: 722.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 681709 About AMNH , adult male, collected in Suruga Province (5 Suruga-nokumi, Morioka et al., 2005: 153), Japan, undated, by collectors for A. Owston (no. 215). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hellmayr listed as types two specimens: a male in the Rothschild Collection from Suruga-no-kumi, no. 215, and one other specimen—a female, no. 2554 in the v. Tschusi Collection, from Musashi (Hondo) collected in November. Hartert (1920a: 444) listed the male adult from Suruga as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. It bears a Rothschild type label. The second specimen listed by Hellmayr is a paralectotype in NMW ( Morioka et al., 2005: 52).

The only other Owston specimen in AMNH from Suruga is a female, also bearing the number 215, but not mentioned by Hellmayr. Both of these specimens bear an early Owston label without his name but a distinctive 3 inch by K inch cream cardboard rectangle with all four corners clipped off. One side bears what is probably a species number (215 in this case), the species name, and the sex of the specimen; the reverse has the locality.
