Description
Parus borealis restrictus Hellmayr
Parus borealis restrictus Hellmayr, 1900: 215 (Südjapan (Hondo)).
Now Poecile montanus restrictus (Hellmayr, 1900). See Morioka et al., 2005: 108, Eck and Martens, 2006: 13–15, Dickinson et al., 2006: 72, and Gosler and Clement, 2007: 712–713.
SYNTYPES: AMNH 682343, adult male, collected at Shimotsuke, Japan, in December 1893; and AMNH 682344, adult male, collected at Shimotsuke-no-Kuni, Tochigi Prefecture, Honshu (5 Hondo) (Morioka et al., 2005: 108), Japan, undated, by collectors for A. Owston (no. 216). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Hellmayr did not designate a type in the original description; therefore, all seven specimens listed by him are syntypes. This is the form called Parus spec. nov. by Kleinschmidt (1897: 94), and he cited a male and a female specimen in the Rothschild Collection (5 Tring). The female specimen, now at AMNH, has no type standing, as only males and unsexed adults were listed by Hellmayr in the original description and females were not mentioned. I misled Morioka et al. (2005: 108) by originally considering the female to be part of the type series.
There is no information on the collector of AMNH 682343. What appears to be an original label bears the name ‘‘ Parus palustris japonicus ’’ along with the number 51 and the other data. It was apparently seen by Kleinschmidt, as his distinctive manner of noting measurements and his initials are added to the label, but I did not find a specimen no. 51 listed in his review (Kleinschmidt, 1897).
These syntypes were not recorded by Hartert in any of his lists of types in the Rothschild Collection and were not recognized as types until pointed out to me by Edward Dickinson in 1999.
