Troglodytes troglodytes szetschuanus Hartert

Troglodytes troglodytes szetschuanus Hartert, 1910a: 783 (Tsinling­Berge und chinesische Provinz Szetschwan... auch Itschang am Jangtsekiang).

Now Troglodytes troglodytes szetschuanus Hartert, 1910 . See Cheng, 1987: 563 and Brewer and MacKay, 2001: 166.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 573952 , adult male, collected at ‘‘Mu­Kua­chi’’, Lung­an , Sichuan, China, on 15 May 1893 (Russian date), by von Berezowsky. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The above specimen, the only one collected by von Berezowsky that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, was designated the lectotype by Hartert (1920: 504). The designation of this lectotype also serves to restrict the type locality. Specimens from Taibai Mt., Tsinling Mountains, Shaanxi Prov., collected by Alan Owston’s collectors, are paralectotypes: AMNH 573953–573975. Two specimens labeled only ‘‘Shensi’’ (= Shaanxi Prov.) are also apparently paralectotypes: AMNH 573976, collected by Peré David in 1873, and AMNH 573977, collect­ ed by Riocour in March 1873. No specimens collected at Ichang (Hubei Prov.) came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.

Since 1913, the Lung­an in Sichuan has been known as P’ing­wu ( Seltzer, 1962: 1476), 32°25′N, 104°35′E (Times Atlas, 1990).
