Parus accedens Brehm

Parus accedens Brehm, 1855: 242 ( Deutschland) .

Now Poecile montanus salicarius ( Brehm, 1831) . See Hartert, 1918a: 28, Snow, 1967c: 78, and Gosler and Clement, 2007: 712–713.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 455901 (Kleinschmidt no. 54), immature male, collected at Renthendorf (5 ‘‘Berg mit Nadelholz bei Renthendorf,’’ as on label), 50.48N, 11.58E ( USBGN, 1959), Germany, on 3 July 1833. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Neither a type nor the number of specimens in hand was listed in the original description. Hartert (1918a: 28) listed as the type the male collected on 3 July 1833, thereby designating it the lectotype. It is among the Brehm material of accedens listed by Kleinschmidt (1897: 83). The lectotype is one of three immature specimens collected together and tied together. The other two specimens are paralectotypes AMNH 455902 (Kleinschmidt no. 55), female, and AMNH 455903 (56), female; they remain in the type collection because they are tied to the lectotype. There are four additional paralectotypes in AMNH: AMNH 455904 (57), male adult, Renthendorf, 6 January 1853; AMNH 455905 (58), female adult, Renthendorf, 6 January 1853; AMNH 455906 (59), female adult, Greiz im Voigtlande, 10 January 1854; and AMNH 455908 (60), male adult, Holland, 4 July 1834.

[ Parus salicarius was described by Brehm in 1831, but there are no Brehm specimens of that form in AMNH collected before that date.]
