Oenanthe isabellina kargasi Koelz, 1939: 66 (Kargasi Pass, Afghanistan).

Now Oenanthe isabellina (Temminck, 1829) . See Vaurie, 1959: 350–351, and Dickinson, 2003: 685.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 465990 About AMNH , adult female, collected at Kargasi Pass , Afghanistan, on 8 August 1937, by Walter Koelz.

COMMENTS: The above holotype was the only female collected at Kargasi Pass on 8 August and is marked ‘‘type’’ by Koelz. He listed 10 paratypes, five of them from the type locality. However, in addition to the holotype, only four specimens from Kargasi Pass were cataloged. The nine paratypes at AMNH are: AMNH 465981– 465983, 465986–465989, 465995, and 465991.

Sibley and Monroe (1990: 541) treated Oenanthe in the tribe Saxicolini , subfamily Muscicapinae ; Dickinson (2003: 684) placed it in the subfamily Saxicolinae , family Muscicapidae .

While Koelz’s label has only ‘‘Kargasi Pass’’, the Koelz itinerary places Koelz at Jurm, 368509N, 708529E (Times Atlas), Kargasi Pass, on 8 August 1937. Molecular stud ies of Oenanthe isabellina are reported by Wink et al. (2002a, 2002b).
