Description

PASSENGER PIGEON Ectopistes migratorius

Columba migratoria Linnaeus, 1766

MZUT AV8743; mount; adult male; ‘North America’, no date; from L. de Gréaux in 1876.

MZUT AV15372; mount; adult female; USA, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, 22 March 1823; donated by G. Deabbate in 1823.

MZUT AV15373; mount; unsexed juvenile; USA, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia; donated by G. Deabbate in 1823.

Remarks.—Laurent de Gréaux was a natural history dealer from Marseille (France), a member of the Société d’Histoire naturelle de Toulouse from 1874 (Anon. 1876) and a corresponding member of the Société d’Étude des Sciences Naturelles de Nîmes (Anon. 1877). He purchased the holotype of Josephine’s Lorikeet Charmosyna josefinae in London, then sold it to Count Ercole Turati of Milano (Finsch 1872). Gaspare Deabbate was the General Consul of the Kingdom of Sardinia to the USA during 1820–27.

1 The name Dromaius ater Vieillot, 1817, previously applied to this species, is a synonym of Casuarius novaehollandiae Latham, 1790 (Dickinson & Remsen, 2013: 6, footnote 16).
