Curruca orphea griseocapilla A.E. Brehm
Curruca orphea griseocapilla A.E. Brehm, 1857: 464 ( Spain).
Now Sylvia hortensis hortensis (Gmelin, 1789) View in CoL . See Hartert, 1918a: 31, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 697.
SYNTYPES: AMNH 455530 About AMNH , male, 18 July 1856 ; AMNH 455531 About AMNH , female immature, 21 June 1856 ; and AMNH 455541 About AMNH , female, 12 July 1856, all collected at Jativa , 39.00N, 00.32W (Times Atlas), Valencia, Spain. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection GoogleMaps .
COMMENTS: Hartert (1918a: 31) considered specimens now numbered AMNH 455539 and 455540 to be syntypes of Curruca vidali , Curruca caniceps , and C. orphea griseocapilla , but see above for discussion of the first two names. A.E. Brehm (1857: 464) noted that his new subspecies, griseocapilla, was the gray-headed form, found in Catalonia and Valencia, and that he had several times collected mated pairs. However, he did not further identify his specimens or designate a type; therefore, all of his gray-headed specimens from those localities are syntypes. Because the original field label has been removed from AMNH 455541, there is some question as to the collector; however, the locality and date are consistent with its having been collected by A.E. Brehm.
In addition to the above three specimens, there are in AMNH a further five collected by A.E. Brehm in Masneu in Catalonia, but these are not of the gray-headed form.
A.E. Brehm’s name Curruca orphea griseocapilla appeared in the last half of his paper on his Spanish collection and was published in 1857 ( LeCroy, 2003: 24).
Shirihai et al. (2001: 157, 167–168) considered S. hortensis and S. crassirostris to be allospecies of the superspecies hortensis .
