Crucirostra pseudopityopsittacus C.L. Brehm
Now Loxia curvirostra curvirostra Linnaeus, 1758 View in CoL . See Hartert, 1918: 12; Vaurie, 1956b: 25–31; Vaurie, 1959: 647–652; Howell et al., 1968: 287– 293; Dickinson, 2003: 755–756; and Clement 2010: 600–604.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 457013 About AMNH , adult male, collected in the Roda Valley (5 Rodathal), Germany, on 17 February 1834. From the C.L. Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm said that of 175 specimens of crossbills in his collection, he had two specimens of pseudopityopsittacus , a male collected on ‘‘ 17 February 1817 ’’ in the Roda Valley and a female collected on 20 October 1834 in the neighborhood of Greiz. The date ‘‘1817’’ is apparently a slip of the pen, as the original Brehm label gives the date as 17 February 1834. Hartert (1918: 12) listed this male as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype of pseudopityopsittacus . He further commented: ‘‘The name pseudopytiopsittacus is very descriptive, as it is a real giant of Loxia curvir . curvirostra , though it does not come up to L. pytyopsittacus ; the bill is not so wide, more elongated, especially the under mandible is less broad; the wing measures 100.7 mm.’’ I did not find cataloged at AMNH a female collected on 20 October 1834 in Greiz and labeled pseudopityopsittacus ; thus, no specimens cataloged as this form and exchanged to ZFMK would be paralectotypes.
This form is referred to ‘‘Abbild. Nr. 5’’; the reverse of Brehm’s label of the lectotype bears ‘‘Nr. 5,’’ corresponding to figure 5 in the unnumbered plate in Brehm (1953: opp. p. 182).
