Certhia familiaris pusilla Brehm

Certhia familiaris pusilla Brehm, 1856a: 358 (Ich bekam ihn aus Dalmatien und erlegte ihn ein einziges Mal in der hiesigen Gegend).

Now Certhia familiaris macrodactyla Brehm, 1831 . See Hartert, 1918a: 26, Dickinson, 2003: 647, and Harrap, 2008c: 181–182.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 457356 , female, collected in Dalmatia , Croatia, on 15 October 1830. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Brehm had at least two specimens of pusilla . Hartert (1918a: 26) listed as type the specimen collected in Dalmatia on 15 October 1830, thereby designating it the lectotype. He also mentioned a second specimen collected at Renthendorf on 20 November 1820, which would be a paralectotype. This specimen was AMNH 457354 and was exchanged to ZFMK. Other Renthendorf specimens that were exchanged to ZFMK possibly also were labeled as ‘‘ pusilla ’’ by Brehm and would be paralectotypes.
