Budytes fasciatus
Brehm
Budytes fasciatus
Brehm, 1855: 141
(Galizien und
Ungarn
).
Now
Motacilla flava flava
Linnaeus, 1758
. See
Hartert 1918b: 25
,
Vaurie, 1959: 76
, and
Alström and Mild, 2003: 268
.
LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 458360
, adult male, collected in the
Galicia region
of
Poland
, on
5 May 1852
.
From
the
Brehm Collection
via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Considering
Brehm’s (1855: 141)
description of his birds from Galicia and
Hungary
to be a valid description,
Hartert (1918b: 25)
designated the above specimen, collected by Count Wodzicki, the
lectotype
. The
paralectotypes
are AMNH 458359, male, collected in
Hungary
on
10 April 1852
, and AMNH 458361, male, collected in Galicia,
Poland
, on
11 April 1852
. These
three specimens
are apparently the ones Brehm referred to in his description cited above, based on localities and year of collection, and all three are labeled
fasciatus
in Brehm’s hand. However,
Budytes fasciatus
Brehm, 1855
, is preoccupied by
Motacilla fasciata
Bechstein, 1795
, and
Budytes fasciatus
Zander, 1851
(see below), and should it ever be used, would need to be renamed.
