Cinclus cinclus sardus Hartert

Cinclus cinclus sardus Hartert, 1904d: 51 (Ilbano, Ogliastra, Sardinia).

Now Cinclus cinclus cinclus (Linnaeus, 1758) . See Hartert, 1920: 504, Tyler and Ormerod, 1994: 10, and

Brewer and MacKay, 2001: 200.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 573390 , adult male, collected at Ilbano , Ogliastra Island, 39°58′N, 09°43′E (Times Atlas), Sardinia, Italy, on 14 November 1902, no. 3939. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In his description, Hartert listed the type as a male, collected 14 November 1902, and bearing the number 3939 (perhaps a collector’s number, but no name appears).

The Rothschild Museum label gives 1903 as the year of collection; this is an error, as 1902 appears on the field label. The holotype is the only specimen collected in 1902; nine paratypes from Sardinia, AMNH 573391–573399 , were collected between January and July 1903 .
