COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert cited Zarudny’s number of the holotype. The date of 21 April, given on the original label, was the date according to the Julian calendar ( Hartert, 1920: 464); 3 May was the date according to the Gregorian calendar. Hartert did not say how many specimens he had, but three additional specimens collected by Zarudny at Djarkent at the same time would have been part of Hartert’s type series.
