Hemprich & Ehrenberg, 1833 : 55 Type specimens and type localities of birds collected during the Hemprich and Ehrenberg expedition to Lebanon in 1824 Mlíkovský, Jiří Frahnert, Sylke Zootaxa 2011 2990 1 29 Hemprich & Ehrenberg Hemprich & Ehrenberg [151,742,1330,1356] Aves Sylviidae Curruca GBIF Animalia Passeriformes 13 14 Chordata subSpecies orphea helena    Typeseries.“Specimina 3 adsunt, syriacum 1 capite nigro, arabica 2, capite cinereo” ( Hemprich & Ehrenberg 1833: 55). The form was thus based on three syntypes, a black-capped bird from “ Syria” and two gray-capped birds from “Arabia”, all of which were registered in the Inventory Catalogue of the ZMB(see below).  Lichtenstein(1825)listed sub Nr. 74 an unsexed  S. orpheafrom “Bischerre Jul.”, sub Nr. 77 a black-capped (“pileo nigro”)  S. orpheafrom an unknown locality, and sub Nr. 85 an unsexed  S. hortensisfrom an unknown locality, which he later struck out and re-identified as a juvenile (“pullus”)  S. cinerea. A comparison of the data in  Lichtenstein(1825)with those in the Inventory Catalogue of the ZMBthus indicates that the syntypefrom “ Syria” is the specimen ZMB4144.   Syntype. ZMB4145, mount, 3, collected in “Arabia” (Inventory Catalogue of the ZMB) [= Sinai Peninsula, Egypt].   Syntype. ZMB4146, skin, unsexed, collected in “Arabia” (label) [= Sinai Peninsula, Egypt].   Syntype(lost): ZMB4144, 3, collected in July (  Lichtenstein1825) [= 5–24 July 1824] in “ Syrien” (Inventory Catalogue of the ZMB) or at “Bischerre” (  Lichtenstein1825) [= Bcharré, Lebanon].   Typelocality.“ Syria” and “Arabia” according to Hemprich and Ehrenberg (1833: 55). Knowing Hemprich and Ehrenberg’s itinerary, we restrict here the typelocality to Bcharré, Lebanon, and to the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt.
