Accentor talifuensis
Rippon
Prunella collaris ripponi
Hartert
Accentor talifuensis
Rippon, 1906b: 19
(E. of Talifu, W.
Yunnan
).
Prunella collaris ripponi
Hartert, 1910a: 766
(Gyidziushán, 10 000 ft.).
Now
Prunella collaris nipalensis
(Blyth, 1843)
. See
Vaurie, 1959: 210
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 585025
, sex unknown, collected on
5 April 1902
, at Gyidziushan,
10,000 feet
, east of
Tali
(5 Talifu), 258459N, 1008069E (Times Atlas), northern
Yunnan
,
China
, by George Rippon. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Apparently
Rippon (1906b: 19)
described
Accentor talifuensis
from one unsexed adult specimen collected ‘‘E. of Talifu, W. Yunnan’’.
Hartert (1910a: 766)
, in his description of
P. c. ripponi
, did not mention Rippon’s earlier description, noting only that the type of his
ripponi
was in the Rothschild Collection and collected by Rippon on
5 April 1902
at Gyidziushán,
10,000 feet
. The locality data from both descriptions appear together on the original label, and AMNH 585025 is the only Rippon specimen that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. Thus, it seems that this specimen is the
holotype
of both names, with
A. talifuensis
being older.
Hartert (1910a: 766)
also spoke of having a series from east of Talifu; however, no additional specimens collected early enough are now in AMNH.
Accentor erythropygius
Swinhoe
Accentor erythropygius
Swinhoe, 1870c: 124
(Ke
meih, Prefecture of Seuenhwafoo).
Now
Prunella collaris erythropygia
(Swinhoe,
1870). See
Vaurie, 1959: 210
, and
Cheng, 1987:
564.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 585068
, adult male, collected on
26 September 1868
, at
Kemeih
,
China
, by Robert Swinhoe. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Only
one specimen
was secured, although others were seen later.
Cheng (1987: 564)
placed this
type
locality ‘‘between Zhangjiakou [5 Changchiak’ou, 408519N, 1148599E, Times Atlas] and
Beijing
[5 Peiching, 398559N, 1168259E, Times Atlas], China’’.
Prunella strophiata sirotensis
Koelz
Prunella strophiata sirotensis
Koelz, 1939: 67
(Sirotai,
Afghanistan
).
Now
Prunella strophiata jerdoni
(Brooks, 1872)
.
See
Vaurie, 1959: 212
, and
Dickinson, 2003:
738.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 467183
, adult male, collected at
Saroti
(5 Sirotai),
Afghanistan
, on
17 June 1937
, by Walter Koelz.
COMMENTS: Koelz listed the above male and a female
paratype
(called ‘‘topotype’’ by Koelz), AMNH 467182, collected on
18 June 1937
. Koelz was at Saroti on 17–19 June and in both Saroti and Gardez on 20 June. Gardez is at 338379N, 698099E (Times Atlas).
[
Accentor modularis occidentalis
Hartert
]
Hartert (1910e: 313)
described
occidentalis
based on a single specimen collected on the Tring estate. Later,
Hartert (1920: 503)
added that the
holotype
was a male, collected on
10 April 1893
, by N.C. Rothschild. It was cataloged as AMNH 450916 and on
21 September 1936
was one of the British Isles types from the Rothschild Collection that was presented to the BMNH, Reg. no. 1936.10.15.10 (
Warren and Harrison, 1971: 397
). Now
Prunella modularis occidentalis
Hartert, 1910 (
Cramp, 1988: 548
)
.
