Passeriformes: Sylviidae, Muscicapidae, Platysteiridae, Maluridae, Acanthizidae, Monarchidae, Rhipiduridae, And Petroicidae Author LeCroy, M. text Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 2008 2008-07-02 313 1 1 287 http://dx.doi.org/10.1206/313.1 journal article 10.1206/313.1 0003-0090 13223808 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) .
