Regulus regulus interni Hartert

Regulus regulus interni Hartert, 1906b: 45 (Sassari, Sardinia).

Now Regulus regulus regulus Hartert, 1906 . See Vaurie, 1954: 1–2, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 348.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 597242 , adult male, collected at Sassari , 40.43N, 08.34E ( USBGN, 1956a), Sardinia, Italy, on 6 February 1904, by Squilloni. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated a male from Sassari collected on 6 February 1904 as the holotype, noted that he had examined four males, and gave the range as Sardinia and Corsica. However, the three specimens other than the type, collected before the publication of the name, comprise one male and two females. I consider them paratypes: AMNH 597181 , adult female, collected at Sassari, 4 November 1903 ; AMNH 597243 , adult female, collected at Sassari , 6 February 1904 ; and AMNH 597245 , adult male, collected at Porto Vecchio , Corsica, on 10 May 1884 .
