Now. Cinclus cinclus rufiventris Tristram, 1884 . See Vaurie (1951b , 1959b : 196) and Dickinson (2003: 698) . Type series. Tristram (1884: 51) did not define the type series, but specifically referred to bird(s) labeled by Hemprich and Ehrenberg (1833) as rufiventris , and to a bird listed by Sharpe (1881: 314) as a variant of cashmeriensis . Hemprich and Ehrenberg collected only one rufiventris ( Lichtenstein 1825, Nr. 28 ). The type series thus consists of two specimens listed below. Syntype . ZMB 3321, skin, collected by Hemprich and Ehrenberg on an unknown date [= 5–24 July 1824 ] at “Bischerre” ( Lichtenstein 1825, Nr. 28 ) [= Bcharré, Lebanon ], Syntype . BMNH 1864.11.22.129, ad. 3, collected by Tristram on “Nahr el Kelb” ( Sharpe 1881 : 314; R. Prÿs- Jones in litt. 2009) [= Nahr el Kalb, Lebanon ; river opening at 33.96°N , 35.60°E ], possibly during 19–20 June 1864 (cf. Tristram 1865 : 633–635). Type locality. Tristram (1884: 51) reported that C. rufiventris is confined to “the mountain streams in the deep gorges of the Litany river [= Nahr el Lîtâni, Lebanon ; opening at 33.33°N , 35.24°E ] and the Lebanon [= Jabal Lubnān , Lebanon ]”, specifying that they were common on the “springs of Afka” [= Afqa, Lebanon ; 34.07°N , 35.89°E ], which he visited on 18 June 1864 ( Tristram 1865: 633 ). Nevertheless, the type locality is defined by collecting localities of syntypes ( ICZN 1999, Art. 76.1 ). We thus restrict here the type locality to Bcharré, Lebanon (Hemprich and Ehrenberg specimen) and Nahr el Kalb, Lebanon (Tristram specimen). Remarks. Tristram (1884: 51) described the subspecies explicitly using the name rufiventris created by Hemprich and Ehrenberg (1833: 54) . The name is a pure nomen nudum in the latter paper, so Tristram (1884: 51) is its author in the sense of the Code ( ICZN 1999, Art. 51.1 ).
