Chloris sinica tschiliensis Jacobi

Chloris sinica tschiliensis Jacobi, 1923: 25 (Peking, Jingschujingtsze, Balihandiën).

Now Carduelis sinica sinica (Linnaeus, 1766) . See Vaurie, 1959: 602; Howell et al., 1968: 236; Dickinson, 2003: 749; and Clement, 2010: 543– 544.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 709209, adult male, AMNH 709210, female, collected at Westgräben bei Beijing (5 Peking) 39.55N, 116.25E (Times atlas), on 11 March 1916, by H. Weigold on the Stoetzner’sche Szetschwan-Expedition. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Jacobi said that he had six males and five females collected at Peking, Jingschujingtsze , and Balihandiën , on 11 March , 2 May , and 26 June , and a juvenile female collected at Peking on 26 June. The above specimens were both collected near Beijing on 11 March 1916 and are both marked ‘‘Cotypus.’’ Wing measurements in pencil on the reverse of the original labels are: male 82, female 77.5, both measurements being given in the original description. These syntypes were not listed by Hartert in his lists of types in the Rothschild Collection and had not previously been included with AMNH types. Töpfer (2013) has recently discovered the whereabouts of the remaining 10 syntypes: six, with an additional one lost in World War II, SNSK ; one, ZFMK; two, MCZ.
