Type specimens and type localities of birds collected during the Hemprich and Ehrenberg expedition to Lebanon in 1824 Author Mlíkovský, Jiří Author Frahnert, Sylke text Zootaxa 2011 2990 1 29 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.278408 7a094bd8-4285-408f-ad78-89681bc13477 1175-5326 278408 Scops obsoleta Cabanis Scops obsoleta Cabanis, 1875 : 126 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 ( Mlíkovský & Frahnert 2009 ).
