Certhia familiaris japonica Hartert

Certhia familiaris japonica Hartert, 1897a: 138 (Northern Hondo).

Now Certhia familiaris japonica Hartert, 1897 . See Morioka et al., 2005: 60, and Harrup, 2008c: 181–182.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 684676 , adult male, collected at Iwaki-no-kuni, Honshu (5 Hondo), 56.00N, 138.00E ( USBGN, 1955), Japan, by collectors for Alan Owston (no. 181). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert said that the type of japonica was from northern Hondo and that there were only two specimens in the Rothschild Collection. Hartert (1920a: 438) then listed as type the ‘‘s’’ (?), thereby designating as lectotype the specimen sexed as a male on the original label. The paralectotype is AMNH 684677, sexed as a female on the original label, collected at Iwaki-no-kuni by collectors for A. Owston (also no. 181).
