Corvus sylvestris

Quick answer

COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description. Hartert and Kleinschmidt (1901: 40) listed the specimen labeled sylvestris by Brehm and collected on 15 May 1817 at Rethendorf as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype of sylvestris. It is number ‘‘ 1 a’ ’ on their list and so annotated on the reverse of Brehm’s label. The following specimens labeled sylvestris by Brehm and listed and annotated by Hartert and Kleinschmidt (1901: 40) are in AMNH and may be considered paralectotypes: AMNH 674866 (no. 1 c), juvenile male, Vallis Rodana on label, 10 May 1816 (not 28 May 1818); AMNH 674869 (no. 1 b), juvenile female, Renthendorf, 10 May 1818; AMNH 674871 (no. 1 d), juvenile female, Vallis Orlana on label, 28 May 1818; AMNH 674873 (no. 1 f), nestling male, Vallis Rodana on label, 4 May 1818. AMNH 674872 and 674874 were exchanged to ZFMK, and one or both of them may be paralectotypes.
