Carduelis elegans sylvestris Pražák

[ Carduelis elegans] sylvestris Pražák, 1894d: 84 .

NOW. Carduelis carduelis carduelis (Linnaeus, 1758) . See Hartert (1903: 67).

Remarks. See under Carduelis elegans hortensis (above). Pražák (1894d: 84) did not specify the type locality of C. e. sylvestris, but listed examples of localities where these birds were common. All of these localities lie within Bohemia and I thus consider Bohemia as the type locality of Carduelis elegans sylvestris Pražák. Hartert (1903: 67) incorrectly said that Pražák (1894d) described this form as Fringilla sylvestris .
