Chloris septentrionalis C.L. Brehm

Chloris septentrionalis C.L. Brehm, 1831: 261 (Er bewohnt schon Nord-deutschland, z.B. die Gegend bei Kiel geht aber warscheinlich viel höher nördlich hinauf, lebt vom November bis zum April in Mitteldeutschland).

Now Carduelis chloris chloris (Linnaeus, 1758) . See Hartert, 1903: 61; Hartert, 1918: 10; Dickinson, 2003: 749; and Clement, 2010: 542–543.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 456673 , adult male, collected at Kiel , 54.20N, 10.08E (Times atlas), Germany, in 1824. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert (1918: 10) listed the Brehm specimen collected in Kiel in 1824 as the type of septentrionalis , thereby designating it the lectotype and said that the specimen was the only one in the Brehm collection from Kiel and was probably collected by Boie. Other Brehm specimens in AMNH labeled septentrionalis by him were collected after 1831.
