LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 457019
, adult male, caught at Renthendorf on
2 February 1844
and died
14 February 1844
(2 March in description, col. 250). From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm described a number of different plumages and especially noted the specimen that had been taken into captivity on
2 February 1844
. It is this specimen that Hartert listed as the type of
rubrifasciata
, thereby designating it the
lectotype
. In addition to the original Brehm label and the Rothschild type label, it bears two Rothschild Collection labels. The reverse of one has a note by Hartert: ‘‘Brehm sagt, er habe die Art in der
Isis
beschreiben, Wo?? S. Naumannia 1853, p. 194.’’ The type label has the correct reference to the description. The second Rothschild Collection label reflects a disagreement. It has a note on the front by ‘‘E. H[artert]!’’: ‘‘Umstehende Behauptung spassig! Ist
L. curvirostra
aberr. aber nicht species!’’; and on the reverse: ‘‘Einziger wirklicher
Loxia rubrifasciata
! V. Bianchi.’’
Ten specimens were entered in the AMNH catalog as
rubrifasciata
, all except the
lectotype
having been exchanged to ZFMK. Seven of them were collected before the date of publication of the description and may be
paralectotypes
, depending on how they were labeled by Brehm.
