Emberiza cioides weigoldi Jacobi

Emberiza cioides weigoldi Jacobi, 1923: 36 (Peking, 30 km N von Balihanden).

Now Emberiza cioides weigoldi Jacobi, 1923 . See Vaurie, 1956b: 19–20, Dickinson, 2003: 777.

SYNTYPE: AMNH 716699, female, collected at Pei-ching (5 Peking), 39.55N, 116.25E (Times Atlas), China, on 8 March 1916, by H. Weigold on the Stötzner Expedition. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Jacobi said that he had three male and seven female specimens from Pei-ching and 30 km N from Balihanden, collected between 15 January and 29 April. The above specimen bears the original label, which is marked ‘‘ Cotypus,’’ a Rothschild Collection label, and an AMNH type label. It was not listed as a type by Hartert ; however, because Jacobi did not designate a type in the original description, it is a syntype of weigoldi. Eck and Quaisser (2004: 310) listed four syntypes of weigoldi that had been in SNSD, but were destroyed in World War II. The above specimen is a fifth syntype of the original ten.
