Pyrgita brachyrhynchos
C.L. Brehm
Pyrgita brachyrhynchos
C.L.
Brehm, 1842
: col. 890 (Diese Subspecies lebt in Dalmatien und Kärnthen).
Now
Passer domesticus domesticus
(Linnaeus, 1758)
. See
Hartert, 1918a: 14
.
LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 456389
, male,
Dalmatia
,
Croatia
, spring (= vere, as on label), not dated.
From
the
Brehm Collection
via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Brehm did not designate a type but noted in the original description that he had three specimens: two from Dalmatia, one in breeding and one in winter plumage, and a third from
Carinthia
(= Kärnthen). Only two among those cataloged at AMNH as
brachyrhynchos
were collected in the given localities.
Hartert (1918a: 14)
, by listing as type the male specimen marked ‘‘vere’’ (vererben?) by Brehm, designated it the
lectotype
of
brachyrhynchos
. Hartert on the Rothschild label noted: ‘‘Probably from Feldegg.’’
The second male from Dalmatia,
AMNH 456390
, marked ‘‘auct.’’ (auctumno) by Brehm is a
paralectotype
.
