Curruca nigricapilla
Brehm
Curruca nigricapilla
Brehm, 1831: 417
(Sie bewönt unsere Fichtenwälder).
Now
Sylvia atricapilla atricapilla
(Linnaeus, 1758)
. See
Hartert, 1918a: 32
, and
Shirihai et al., 2001: 45
, 53.
SYNTYPES
: AMNH 455553 and 455554, male and female (tied together), collected in ‘‘Renthendorfer Nadelholz’’,
Germany
, on
30 June 1830
. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In his list of the Brehm types,
Hartert (1918a: 32)
listed both of these specimens as types. Three other Brehm specimens cataloged as
nigricapilla
came with the Rothschild Collection.
AMNH 455555
and 455556 were exchanged to ZFMK
;
if they are labeled
nigricapilla
by Brehm, they are also
syntypes
.
AMNH 455557
from Dalmatia,
May 1822
, was also collected early enough, but because Dalmatia was not included in the range of the form, I do not consider it a
syntype
. Renthendorf is at
50.48N
,
11.58E
(
USBGN
, 1959)
