Chloris sinica ussuriensis Hartert

Chloris sinica ussuriensis Hartert, 1903: 64 (SidemiMündung, Ostsibirien (Ussuri)).

Now Carduelis sinica ussuriensis ( Hartert, 1903) . See Vaurie, 1959: 602–603; Howell et al., 1968: 236–237; Dickinson, 2003: 749; and Clement, 2010: 543–544.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 709174 , adult male, collected at the mouth of the Sedimi (5 Sidemi) River , 43.00N, 131.29E ( USBGN, 1959), Ussuri , eastern Siberia , Russia, on 30 April 1884. From the Dörries Collection (no. 2116) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert gave the Dörries Collection number of the holotype and the range from eastern Siberia to Amur , Korea, and Sachalin and Askold islands . Paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 709169–709173 , 709175–709194 , 14 males, seven females, four unsexed, collected on the Sedimi River, Amur Bay, 1884–1886, from the Dörries Collection ; AMNH 709195– 709208 , 12 males, two females, from Gensan, Korea, collected by Robert Hall in April and May 1903. Of these, I did not find AMNH 709187 in the collection .

The name ussuriensis was published in November 1903 ( Hartert, 1910: XIII). Rothschild noted in his unpublished and incomplete list of purchases (Archives, Department of Ornithology, AMNH) that he had received 212 specimens of Korean birds from Hall in August 1903, so those specimens would have been in Hartert’s hand before the publication of ussuriensis.
