Podoces panderi Fischer View in CoL

Podoces panderi Fischer, 1821: 7 View in CoL .

Now: Podoces panderi Fischer, 1821 View in CoL . See Hartert (1903: 39).

Type series: Fischer (1821) did not specify the size of the type series, but it seems that he had at least two specimens at his disposal (Dement’ev 1939: 32, Sudilovskaâ 1959: 82, 1973, 1977: 158, Kalâkin 2001: 137). Only one of these syntypes seems to have survived.

Lectotype (designated by Sudilovskaâ 1959: 82): ZMMU R- 496 (erroneously registered again as R- 31382), skin, unsexed, collected by Pander on an unknown date in “Turkmeniâ, Kyzyl-Kumy” (label) [= Qyzylqum, Uzbekistan]. Pander crossed Qyzylqum twice: first on 3–6 December 1820 [= 15–18 December 1820], and then again during 5–10 April 1821 [= 17–22 April 1821]. Pander’s Ground-Jay is a sedentary species ( Rustamov 1954), which could have been collected on both of these occasions.

Type locality: “Kyzyl-kumy” (labels), i.e. Qyzylqum, Uzbekistan. Qyzylkum is now broadly understood as a desert lying between the Amudar’ya in the south and the Syrdar’ya in the north. However, entries in Eversmann (1823a, b) and Meyendorff (1826) indicate that they understood Qyzylkum in a narrower sense, limiting it to the desert lying (on their way) between Zhandar’ya [43.5– 44.0°N, 62.0– 63.0°E] and Dzhyuskuduk [42.5°N, 63.8°E]. The collection locality was thus apparently within the limits of the modernday Navoiy Province, Uzbekistan.

Remarks: The ZMB possessed a specimen of Podoces panderi (ZMB 1608) collected by Eversmann "zu Anfang Decembers" ( Lichtenstein 1823a: 127) [= 15–18 December 1820 NS] in "Kisilkum" [= Qyzylkum, Uzbekistan]. This specimen, which we did not find in the ZMB in 2008, was not available to Fischer (1821) working with the Pander collection in Moscow, Russia, and consequently has no type status.

Fringillidae

Fringilla obsoleta Lichtenstein

Fringilla obsoleta Lichtenstein, 1823a: 132 .

Now: Rhodospiza obsoleta ( Lichtenstein, 1823) View in CoL . See Hartert (1903: 91).

Type series: Lichtenstein (1823a: 132) did not specify the size of the type series of this species, but only one relevant specimen was available to him ( Lichtenstein 1822), which is thus the holotype of the species. Holotype: ZMB 6910 ( Lichtenstein 1822, Nr. 46), skin, unsexed, collected by Eversmann on 28 March ( Lichtenstein 1822) [= 9 April 1821] at “Kara-ata” [= Chengeldy, Uzbekistan].

Type locality: The type locality was not specified by Lichtenstein (1823a), but the holotype was collected at “Karaata” according to Lichtenstein (1822), i.e. at Chengeldy, Uzbekistan. Apparently unaware of Lichtenstein’s (1822) list, Hartert (1903: 91) gave “bei Buchara”, i.e. “near Buxoro” as the type locality of P. obsoleta . This was corrected to “Kara-ata” by Stresemann (1958: 243).
