Picus fuliginosus Reichenbach

Picus fuliginosus Lichtenstein, 1825 [Unpublished manuscript name.]

Picus fuliginosus Lichtenstein, 1854: 75 [Nomen nudum; no description or indication.] Picus fuliginosus “Lichtst.” Reichenbach, 1854: 378, pl. DCXL, fig. 4269–4270.

Now. Dendrocopos syriacus syriacus ( Hemprich & Ehrenberg, 1833) . See Hartert (1911: 911).

Type series. Not specified by Reichenbach (1854). Lichtenstein (1825, 1854) studied both specimens upon which Hemprich and Ehrenberg (1833) based their Picus syriacus . The type series of Picus fuliginosus Reichenbach, 1854 is thus the same as for Picus syriacus Hemprich & Ehrenberg, 1833 .

Type locality. Same as for Picus syriacus .

Remarks. Reichenbach (1854: 378) attributed this species name to Lichtenstein, but he is its author ( ICZN 1999, Art. 51.1). Picus fuliginosus Reichenbach, 1854 is an objective junior synonym of Picus syriacus Hemprich & Ehrenberg, 1833 = Dendrocopos syriacus ( Hemprich & Ehrenberg, 1833) .
