Accentor modularis sclateri Pražák

Accentor modularis sclateri Pražák, 1896f: 189 .

Remarks. Pražák (1896f: 189) based this form on “sehr lichte britische Vögel (“very pale British birds). As noted by Hartert (1910: 773), British birds are darker than those from continental Europe. This strongly indicates that Pražák did not base A. m. sclateri on actual specimen material. In absence of any evidence that Pražák based this form on existing specimens or on published data, I treat Accentor modularis sclateri Pražák, 1896f, as a name for a hypothetical form, which has no standing in zoological nomenclature (Art. 11.3.1 of the Code).
