Falco torquatus Cuvier
Falco torquatus
Cuvier, 1821, in Temminck,
Planches Coloriees liv.
8: 43, 93 (Nouvelle-Hollande).
Accipiter fasciatus
(Vigors & Horsfield, 1827). See
Voisin and Voisin 2001
: 184-185 - Now.
Type materials.
The two SYNTYPES are the same as
Nisus australis
Lesson.
Comments.
Cuvier mentioned that specimens were present in both the MNHN and RMNH. Contra
Voisin and Voisin (2001
: 184-185) they represent Brown Goshawks
Accipiter fasciatus
(Vigors and Horsfield 1827) and not Collared Sparrowhawk
Accipiter cirrocephalus
(Vieillot 1817), and therfore are misidentifications and needed to be corrected (article 67.13 (ICZN 1999)). Stresemann (1953) refers to
Falco torquatus
Rafinesque 1814 from Sicily, and refers to Temminck (= Cuvier) 1821, and replaces the junior homonym with
Accipiter fasciatus hellmayri
Stresemann 1953,
Jour. f. Orn.
LXX: 129 (Nouvelle-Hollande). The type locality is erroneous (Nouvelle-Hollande), and therefore corrected and restricted to: West-Timor, near Kupang Bay (article 76a.2.A (ICZN 1999)). Cuvier named this species
Falco torquatus
or
'coloured'
(
Jobling 2017
). See
Nisus australis
