Dendrocitta formosae sinica Stresemann View in CoL

Dendrocitta formosae sinica Stresemann, 1913c: 9 View in CoL (Ching-Feng (Fokien)).

Now Dendrocitta formosae sinica Stresemann, 1913 View in CoL . See Hartert: 1919: 124; Blake and Vaurie, 1962: 248; Dickinson et al., 2004: 118; Steinheimer, 2009: 23; and dos Anjos, 2009: 601–602.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 677042 About AMNH , female, collected at Ching Feng , 26.35N, 118.44E (Bird- Life International, 2001: 2565), Fujian (= Fokien), China, on 21 December 1897, from the F.W. Styan Collection. From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, Stresemann designated as the type of sinica a female from Ching-Feng collected on 21 December 1897. This is the only specimen that came to AMNH from the Rothschild Collection with those data, and it bears a Rothschild type label. Stresemann did not mention other specimens.

Stresemann, finding Corvus sinensis Latham, 1790 , to be unidentifiable and best considered a nomen oblitum and needing a name for Chinese birds, provided the name sinica, based on the Fujian specimen available to him.
