Hartert and Kleinschmidt (1901: 40)listed the specimen labeled sylvestrisby Brehm and collected on 15 May 1817at Rethendorf as the type, thereby designating it the lectotypeof sylvestris. It is number ‘‘1a’’ on their list and so annotated on the reverse of Brehm’s label. The following specimens labeled sylvestrisby Brehm and listed and annotated by Hartert and Kleinschmidt (1901: 40)are in AMNH and may be considered paralectotypes: AMNH 674866(no. 1c), juvenile male, VallisRodana on label, 10 May 1816(not 28 May 1818); AMNH 674869(no. 1b), juvenile female, Renthendorf, 10 May 1818; AMNH 674871(no. 1d), juvenile female, VallisOrlana on label, 28 May 1818; AMNH 674873(no. 1f), nestling male, VallisRodana on label, 4 May 1818.
