Petronia petronia intermedia Hartert

Petronia petronia intermedia Hartert, 1901a: 324 (Gilgit) .

Now Petronia petronia intermedia Hartert, 1901 . See Hartert, 1904a: 144; Hartert, 1919: 158; Vaurie, 1956: 22–23; 1959: 585–586; Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 25; Dickinson, 2003: 718; and Summers-Smith, 2009: 810–811.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 717373 , male adult, collected at Gilgit, 35.55N, 74.18E (BirdLife International, 2001: 2643), Kashmir, on 9 January 1880, by J. Scully. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert gave the following range: ‘‘Kaschmir (Typus Gilgit!) u. Kandahar,’’ but no details were given for the type from Gilgit. Hartert (1919: 158), by listing the single male collected at Gilgit by Scully on 9 January 1880, designated it the lectotype of intermedia . Three additional specimens collected at Gilgit are paralectotypes: AMNH 717372 , male, 28 January 1881, by J. Biddulph ; AMNH 717374 , male, 11 January 1879, AMNH 717375 , unsexed, 13 January 1880, both by Scully. No specimens from Kandahar came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. Vaurie (1956: 22) was incorrect in referring to paratypes from Turkestan as only Kashmir and Kandahar were mentioned in the original description .
