Certhia brachydactyla parisi Jouard, 1929

1929 Bulletin de la Société zoologique de France 54(3): 249 (description). - 1930 Alauda série I, 1: 35-36 (material).

Now Certhia brachydactyla brachydactyla Brehm, 1820 .

See Greenway et al., 1967: 157.

Syntypes: MHNG 1077.024 , adult male, collected in France ( Font-Romeu-Odeillo-Via , 1800 m alt., Pyrénées- Orientales) on 27 February 1928 by L. Bureau. MHNG 1077.022 , adult female, collected in France ( Vernet-les- Bains , 650 m alt., Pyrénées-Orientales) on 23 February 1928 by L. Bureau.

Additional material examined (not types): Jouard (1929) examined a total of seven specimens (including the syntypes), of which two have been found in the collection. Because he explicitly defined a type series, we treat the remaining specimens as additional material and not as syntypes (Art. 72.4.6 of the Code): MHNG 1077.026 , adult male and MHNG 1077.027 , adult female , same locality and collector as 1077.022, both collected on 16 February 1928.

Comment: Jouard named the taxon for Paul Paris (1875- 1938). Both were involved in the creation of the French journal Alauda , together with Paul Poty, Henri Heim de Balsac and several other ornithologists.
