Now Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax barbarus Vaurie, 1954 . See Blake and Vaurie, 1962: 259 ; Fry et al., 2000: 568–570 ; Dickinson, 2003: 512 ; and dos Anjos, 2009: 615–616 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 290240 , adult male, collected on the Plateau , 1900 m , Middle Altas Mountains , Morocco , on 27 April 1929 , by E. Hartert and E. Flükiger (no. 302). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Vaurie gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description, and (on p. 3) noted that he measured 22 specimens from Morocco , Algeria , and the Canaries. There are 23 specimens in addition to the type, all marked barbarus by Vaurie, and I have considered all of them paratypes : Morocco , AMNH 290241– 290245 , 675670–675675 , 675681 , 675682 , eight males, five females ; Canaries , AMNH 675668 , 675669 , two males ; Algeria , AMNH 675683–675690 , seven males, one female. The individuals with lower catalog numbers were in a group of specimens presented to AMNH by Rothschild in 1920 .
