Brehm Montifringilla glacialis C.L. Brehm, 1831: 270 (Er bewohnt die Alpen Tyrols). Now Montifringilla nivalis nivalis (Linnaeus, 1766) . See Hartert, 1918a: 14 ; Vaurie, 1956: 24–27 ; 1959: 587–588 ; Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 27 ; Dickinson, 2003: 718 ; and Summers-Smith, 2009: 811 . LECTOTYPE : AMNH 456589 , adult male, collected in the Tyrol , on 12 January 1828 . From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm did not list a type or indicate how many specimens he examined. Hartert (1918a: 14) , by listing the specimen collected on 12 January 1828 as the type, designated it the lectotype . There are two additional Brehm specimens in AMNH labeled glacialis by Brehm and collected before the 1831 description. I consider them paralectotypes : AMNH 456587 , juvenile female, AMNH 456588 , adult female, collected at Heiligen Blut, Tirol , on 4 July 1826 .
