Parus murinus Brehm

Parus murinus Brehm, 1855: 242 ( Deutschland) .

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

SYNTYPES: AMNH 455909 (Kleinschmidt no. 72), male, collected at Renthendorf , 50.48N, 11.58E ( USBGN, 1959), on 19 November 1851 ; AMNH 455910 (73), female, collected at Renthendorf, on 19 November 1851 ; AMNH 455911 (70), male, collected at Renthendorf, 15 April 1851 ; AMNH 455914 (75), female immature, collected in the valley of the Roda River (5 Rodathal , as on label), on 4 June 1852. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection .

COMMENTS: Hartert (1918a: 28), by listing a male and a female type of murinus , failed to designate a lectotype. Kleinschmidt (1897: 79–82) listed Brehm specimens nos. 70–75 in the Brehm Collection, and added these numbers to the back of the Brehm labels. Two additional Brehm specimens were exchanged to ZFMK: AMNH 455912, female, Renthendorf, 15 April 1851, and AMNH 455913, male, Rodathal, 4 June 1852. If they are labeled murinus by Brehm and bear Kleinschmidt’s numbers 71 and 74, they would also be syntypes.
