Pericrocotus peregrinus dharmakumari Koelz

Pericrocotus peregrinus dharmakumari Koelz, 1950: 6 (Jamwala, Junagarh (sic), Kathiawar Peninsula, India).

Now Pericrocotus cinnamomeus cinnamomeus (Linnaeus, 1766) . See Dickinson and Dekker, 2002a: 16–18, and Dickinson et al., 2002a: 42.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 803067 , adult male, collected at Jamwala, 20°57′N, 70°44′E (J. Hinshaw, personal commun.), Saurashtra, Kathiawar Peninsula, Gujarat, India, on 9 February 1949, by Walter Koelz.

COMMENTS: Although said to be deposited in AMNH, the types described by Koelz (1950) were, in fact, deposited by Koelz in FMNH. To avoid confusion, they were later returned to AMNH, but this holotype still bears FMNH 246496. The eight paratypes for which Koelz gave measurements are in FMNH.

For information on the use of P. cinnamomeus (Linnaeus, 1766) rather than P. peregrinus (Linnaeus, 1766) , see Peters et al. (1960: 209).

Junagarh is a misprint for Junagadh, a former princely state of India, merged in 1949 with Saurashtra ( Seltzer, 1962: 889).
