Certhia familiaris corsa Hartert

Certhia familiaris corsa Hartert, 1905d: 320 ( Corsica) .

Now Certhia familiaris corsa Hartert, 1905 . See Dickinson, 2003: 647, and Harrap, 2008c: 181– 182.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 684457 , adult male, collected at Vivario , 42.10N, 09.10E (Times Atlas), Corsica, on 6 January 1884, by John Whitehead (no. 6184). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Whitehead’s field number of the holotype in the original description. He did not give the number of specimens in his type series although he included measurements for multiple males and females. The only possible paratype in AMNH is AMNH 684464, male, collected at Vizzarona, Corsica, on 6 April 1896 by A. Koenig, but I was unable to find whether this specimen came into the Rothschild Collection before or after the description of corsa.
