Description
Pyrgita septentrionalis C.L. Brehm
Pyrgita septentrionalis C.L. Brehm, 1831: 268 (Er bewohnt den Norden, namentlich Dänemark bis Kiel).
Now Passer montanus montanus (Linnaeus, 1758). See Hartert, 1918a: 15; Dickinson, 2003: 717.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 456550, adult male, collected at Kiel, 54.20N, 10.08E (Times Atlas), Germany, in May, 1825. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm did not list a type or mention how many specimens he examined. Hartert (1918a: 15) by listing the above specimen as the type of septentrionalis, designated it the lectotype. Other specimens cataloged in AMNH as septentrionalis were collected after the publication of the name.
