Parus stagnatilis Brehm

Parus stagnatilis Brehm, 1855: 242 (in Galizien).

Now Poecile palustris stagnatilis Brehm, 1855 . See Hartert, 1918a: 27, and Gosler and Clement, 2007: 711–712.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 455853 (Kleinschmidt no. 1), adult male, collected in Poland or the Ukraine (5 Galizia), on 3 January 1853, by Count Wodzicki. From the C.L. Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm noted that this form was from Galicia. Kleinschmidt (1897: 70) listed three Brehm specimens as syntypes, two from Galicia (Kleinschmidt nos. 1 and 2) and one from Dniester River (no. 3), and added his numbers on the reverse of the Brehm labels. Hartert (1918a: 27) listed the male specimen collected on 3 January 1853 as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. The AMNH catalog number had been written incorrectly on this specimen as 455803; an AMNH type label has been added to correct this error. The other two syntypes listed by Kleinschmidt also came to AMNH. AMNH 455854 (no. 2), also from Galicia, and collected on 12 March, year not given in AMNH catalog, was exchanged to ZFMK. If it is labeled stagnatilis by Brehm and was collected early enough, it is a paralectotype. AMNH 455855 collected on the Dniester River, on 1 February 1851, the third syntype listed by Kleinschmidt, is a paralectotype.
