Although the specimen is marked ‘‘ <i>Passer rufidorsalis medius’’</i> by Brehm, Hartert was unable to confirm that the name <i>‘‘medius’’</i> had ever been published. Later, Vaurie (1959: 570) restricted the type locality of <i>P. rufidorsalis</i> to Kartoum, Sudan. This restriction is not valid according to the Code (ICZN, 1999: 87, Art. 76.2), as the Blue Nile is the collecting locality of the lectotype, according to the label information.</p><p>Hartert (1918a: 15) also thought that the same specimen fit Brehm’s (1856: 376–377) description of <i>Passer rufidorsalis megarhynchos</i> and was the type of both names. In his description of <i>megarhynchos</i>, Brehm divided his <i>P. rufidorsalis</i> into two subspecies, <i>megarhynchos</i> and <i>microrhynchos</i>, noting that he had specimens of both in both sexes. There are only two Brehm specimens labeled ‘‘ <i>medius</i> ’’ by him, the other being a female specimen also said to have come from the Blue Nile and collected on the same date. If AMNH 456520 is accepted as the lectotype of <i>megarhynchos</i>, then AMNH 456522, female, collected on the Blue Nile, on 25 October 1850, by A.E. Brehm should be considered a paralectotype of <i>megarhynchos</i>.</p><p>Both <i>megarhynchos</i> and <i>microrhynchos</i> were said to live ‘‘in Ostsudahn und sind bei Chartum nicht eben selten,’’ but in the description of <i>P. rufidorsalis</i>, the only locality mentioned was northeast Africa. AMNH 456523, female, was collected at Khartoum on 30 September 1850, but it is labeled ‘‘minor’’ by Brehm and was not discussed by Hartert.</p> |
