[ Sittiparus varius orii Kuroda ]

Morioka et al. (2005: 99) noted that the holotype of Sittiparus varius orii , described by Kuroda (1923b: 121), was almost certainly lost during World War II and that there were 13 paratypes. AMNH 681361 (Kuroda no. 7360), adult male, collected on South Daito Shima, on 7 October 1922, by H[yojiro] Orii (no. 1345), is a paratype. Two additional paratypes are in YIO. Now Poecile varius orii ( Gosler and Clement, 2007: 718–719) , this form is believed to be extinct ( Morioka et al., 2005: 99).
