Fringilla chlorotica Bonaparte
Fringilla chlorotica “Licht. ex Ehrenb. ” Bonaparte, 1850: 514.
Now. Carduelis chloris chlorotica (Bonaparte, 1850) . See Hartert (1903: 63).
Type series. Lichtenstein (1825, Nr. 433–438) listed six specimens of Fringilla chloris from “Bairut”, received from Hemprich and Ehrenberg, which constitute the type series of F. chlorotica . Only two of them were registered in the Inventory Catalogue of the ZMB (see also Lichtenstein 1854: 46 sub Ligurinus chloroticus ) and found in ZMB in 2007. Bonaparte (1850: 514) indicated that types are deposited in ZMB and MNHN (without specifying their numbers), but no such specimens were found in MNHN (E. Pasquet, in litt. 2007).
Syntype. ZMB 6662, skin, unsexed, collected on an unknown date [= 18–31 May 1824] at “Bairut” (label) or “Bischerra” (Inventory Catalogue of the ZMB) [= Beirut, Lebanon; see below].
Syntype. ZMB 6663, skin, unsexed, collected on an unknown date [= 18–31 May 1824] in “ Syrien ” (label) or “Bairut” ( Lichtenstein 1825) [= Beirut, Lebanon].
Type locality. Bonaparte (1850: 514) described Fringilla chlorotica from “ As. occ.”, i.e. from western Asia. Hartert (1903: 63) restricted the type locality to “ Syria ” (see also Vaurie 1959b: 601, Howell et al. 1968: 236). All types were collected at “Bairut, Maj” according to Lichtenstein (1825; see also Stresemann 1962: 386). This is the oldest and probably correct entry; deviating label or Inventory Catalogue data (see above) are probably subsequent curatorial errors. We thus restrict here the type locality to Beirut, Lebanon, where the syntypes were collected during 18–31 May 1824.
Remarks. Bonaparte (1850: 523) attributed this species name to Lichtenstein, but he is its author ( ICZN 1999, Art. 51.1).
