Parus monticolus lepcharum R. and A. Meinertzhagen

Parus monticolus lepcharum R. and A. Meinertzhagen, 1926: 97 (Gangtok, 5600’, Sikkim).

Now Parus monticolus yunnanensis La Touche, 1922 View in CoL . See Vaurie, 1957a: 34–35, Eck and Martens, 2006: 40, and Gosler and Clement, 2007: 741–742.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 680754 View Materials , male, collected at Gangtok , 5600 ft, 27.20N, 88.39E ( Lozupone et al., 2004), Sikkim, India, on 15 December 1925, by Richard and Annie Meinertzhagen. From the Meinertzhagen Collection via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, the type with the above data was said to be in the Rothschild Collection. It is the only Meinertzhagen specimen of this form that came to AMNH with that Collection. Vaurie (1950a: 37) noted that the type is a first winter male, not fully adult. The authors gave the range of lepcharum as Sikkim and eastern Nepal between 4000 ft and 8800 ft in winter. Specimens that are probable paratypes from the Rothschild Collection are: AMNH 680755 View Materials , unsexed, 7000 ft, and AMNH 680756 View Materials , unsexed, 6000 ft, both from Goompahar, Sikkim, collected in January 1881 by H.J. Elwes ; and AMNH 680758 View Materials , unsexed, collected in Sikkim in March 1876 by Elwes .
