Alum Dagh, Asia Minor, as on label),

(Times Atlas),
Turkey
, on
28 December 1868
, by
T. Robson. From
the
H.J. Elwes Collection
via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hellmayr said that the
type
, from
Asia Minor
, was from the Elwes Collection and in the Rothschild Collection, collected on 28.12.J.8 (the ‘‘J.’’ being an obvious misreading of the ‘‘6’’ in the date). The above specimen is the only one of
harterti
that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. It bears a Rothschild
type
label and an Elwes Collection label, with the initials T.R., which
Hartert (1920a: 439)
identified as the collector, T. Robson.
Dickinson (2003: 648)
, with reference to
Roselaar (1995: 152–153)
, and
Harrap (2008c: 183)
included
harterti
in
C. b.
brachydactyla
; but Roselaar, as well as
Vaurie (1959: 543)
recognized
harterti
.
