Parus ater rapinensis Jouard, 1928 emended to Parus ater rapinei Jouard, 1929

1928 Revue française d’Ornithologie 12: 367 (material), 373 (description) – 1929 Alauda, série I, 1: 58 (corrigenda).

Now Parus ater ater Linnaeus, 1758 .

See Greenway et al., 1967: 91.

Paratype: MHNG 930.009, adult male, collected in France (Riaillé, Loire-Atlantique) on 25 October 1919 by L. Bureau.

Comments: Jouard (1928) examined 4 specimens (including the holotype), of which only one paratype was found in the collection. The holotype might, perhaps, be in the collection of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, which has parts of Jouard’s collection. Jouard dedicated this taxon to J. Rapine, and later corrected the name to rapinei (Jouard 1929a: 58).
