Description

Anthoscopus pendulinus persimilis Hartert

Anthoscopus pendulinus persimilis Hartert, 1918b: 308 (Eregli).

Now Remiz pendulinus menzbieri Zarudny, 1913. See Vaurie, 1952, Vaurie, 1959: 548, and Madge, 2008: 69.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 683262, [male adult], collected at Ereğli, Turkey, on 8 May 1908, by P. Ürmös. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert designated as type his only Ürmös specimen collected on 8 May 1908. It bears a Rothschild type label. Vaurie (1959: 548) noted that the type locality of persimilis was in southern Turkey; it is probably the Ereğli shown in the Times Atlas at 37.30N, 34.02E.

Hartert listed five other specimens that he considered part of his type series. There are two paratypes at AMNH: AMNH 683263, sex given as female by Hartert (but the sex symbol on the label is an ambiguous upsidedown male symbol), Ereğli, 11 May 1908, P. Ürmös; and AMNH 683264, male, Lenkoran, 2 February 1882, originally from the H.H. Slater collection.
