Description

Parus major okinawae Hartert

Parus major okinawae Hartert, 1905d: 346 (Okinawa).

Now Parus major okinawae Hartert, 1905. See Eck and Martens, 2006: 36–38, and Gosler and Clement, 2007: 739–741.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 680660, adult male, collected on Okinawa-jima I. (5 Okinawa), 26.30N, 127.57E (Morioka et al., 2005: 152), Ryukyu (5 Loo Choo) Islands, Japan, on 14 March 1902, by N.C. Rothschild, F. Gayner, and A.W. Waters (no. 61). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert gave the unique field number of the holotype in the original description and said that N.C. Rothschild brought 11 specimens from Okinawa. Eight of these came to AMNH, including the holotype. The seven paratypes in AMNH, all collected in 1902, are: males, AMNH 680657 (N.C. Rothschild no. 122), AMNH 680658 (120), AMNH 680659 (63), AMNH 680661 (85), AMNH 680662 (48), 12–17 March; females, AMNH 680667 (26), AMNH 680670 (121), 9–17 March. The three paratypes not in AMNH were probably exchanged to others before the Rothschild Collection came to AMNH. Specimens in the Rothschild Collection obtained by collectors for A. Owston on Okinawa in 1904 were not mentioned by Hartert and were probably not received before publication of okinawae. The holotype of okinawae is listed by Morioka et al., 2005: 96 and by Dickinison et al., 2006a: 76.
