Pyrgita minor
C.L. Brehm
Pyrgita minor
C.L.
Brehm, 1842
: col. 897 (Egypten und Buchara).
Now
Passer hispaniolensis hispaniolensis
(Temminck, 1820)
. See
Hartert, 1918a: 15
; and
Summers-Smith, 1988: 162–171
, 311.
LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 456506
, male winter (‘‘hieme,’’ as on label),
Egypt
(= ‘‘Aegypto,’’ as on label), collected by
Eduard Rüppell. From
the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm said that he had specimens from
Egypt
and Buchara and described male and female. By listing the male that is now AMNH 456506 as the type,
Hartert (1918a: 15)
designated it the
lectotype
. Only one additional specimen collected before 1842 was cataloged as
minor
at AMNH,
paralectotype
AMNH 456507
, an undated female, winter (‘‘hieme,’’ as on label), sent from
Egypt
by W.F. Hemprich (= ex Aegypto missus ab Hemprich,’’ as on label).
