Certhia familiaris fatioi Jouard, 1929

1929 Bulletin de la Société zoologique de France 54(3): 250 (description). - 1930 Alauda série I, 3-4: 184 (material).

Now Certhia familiaris macrodactyla Brehm, 1831 .

See Greenway et al., 1967: 150.

Syntype: MHNG 1077.057 , adult male, collected in Switzerland ( Montana-Vermala plateau , Crans-sur- Sierre, Valais) on 23 December 1924 by H. Jouard. The second type (an adult female, from the same locality and collected on 8 January 1925) was not found in the MHNG collection.

Additional material examined (not types): Jouard (1929) examined 16 specimens (including the syntypes), all described in Jouard (1930: 23). Because he explicitly defined a type series, we treat the 14 specimens as additional material and not as syntypes (Art. 72.4.6 of the Code). Two have been found in the collection: MHNG 1077.060 , adult male, same locality as types, 8 August 1928; MHNG 1077.058 , juvenile, same locality as types, 3 September 1928. Both collected by H. Jouard.

Comment: Jouard named the taxon for Victor Fatio (1838-1906).
