[ Parus major bangsi Kuroda ]

Morioka et al. (2005: 25–26) noted that the holotype of P. m. bangsi described by Kuroda (1923a: 90) was almost certainly lost during World War II and that there were nine paratypes. AMNH 680675 (Kuroda no. 6310), adult female?, collected at Sonai, Iriomote Island, 24.20N, 123.49E ( Morioka et al., 2005: 149), Japan, on 25 October 1921 by H. Orii, is a paratype. Parus major bangsi is now considered a synonym of Parus major nigriloris Hellmayr, 1900 ( Snow, 1967c: 108) .
