Remarks.
Cabanis (1875: 126)
based this form on two
syntypes
, incl. “ein Exemplar von Eversmann aus Buchara und ein anderes Exemplar von Ehrenberg aus
Syrien
”, i.e. “a specimen from Eversmann from Buxoro and another specimen from Ehrenberg from
Syria
”. However, Lichtenstein’s (1825) list shows that the “Syrian” specimen originated from El Tor,
Egypt
(see also Stresemann in
Le Roi 1923
: 64,
Stresemann 1954
: 101; 1962: 388, footnote). This species was thus not based on material collected by Hemprich and Ehrenberg in
Lebanon
, and we treated it elsewhere (
