Crucirostra intercedens

Quick answer

COMMENTS: Hartert (1918: 12) listed this male, ‘‘ the only adult male in the collection, ’’ as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. Another specimen, collected on 12 February 1847, was molting from striped juvenal into adult plumage. The six additional specimens cataloged at AMNH as intercedens were exchanged with ZFMK, and this paralectotype, as well as other paralectotypes marked intercedens by Brehm, may be there. This form is illustrated as No. 6 on the unnumbered plate in Brehm (1853: opp. p. 182). A corner of Brehm’s label on this specimen where that number might have appeared has been cut off.
