COMMENTS
:
Hartert (1918a: 32)
listed this specimen the type of
luctuosa
, thereby designating it the
lectotype
; it is labeled
luctuosa
by Brehm. I did not find
other specimens
so labeled;
a second specimen from
Dalmatia
,
AMNH 455650
, was labeled
longirostris
by
Brehm. I
do not consider it a
paralectotype
.
