Galerida cristata cinnamomina Hartert

Galerida cristata cinnamomina Hartert, 1904a: 235 (Carmel) .

Now Galerida cristata cinnamomina Hartert, 1904 . See Cramp, 1988: 145.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 557592 , adult male, collected on Mt. Carmel , 32°45′N, 35°02′E (Times Atlas), Israel, on 29 (not 28) August 1897, by Bacher (no. 151a). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert (1904a: 235) noted that he had two specimens of the new taxon. A second adult male was collected by Bacher on Mt. Carmel, on 28 August 1897, the date cited in the original description. Both of the specimens were originally numbered 151. However, it is the above specimen to which Hartert added the ‘‘a’’—no. 151a being the number cited in the original description—and to which he tied the type label. Later, Hartert (1919: 166) called attention to this error in date citation in the original description. The second specimen, AMNH 557593, is a paratype.
