Nucifraga brachyrhynchos

Quick answer

COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm did not designate a type but specifically mentioned a male and a female that had been collected at the same time. Hartert (1903 d: 25) listed the type as having been collected on 10 October 1821, but this did not distinguish between the male and female shot on the same day. Later, he (Hartert, 1918 a: 8) listed the male as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. A third Brehm specimen collected in the same month and also labeled brachyrhynchos by him came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. The two paralectotypes in AMNH are: AMNH 675465, female, Thüringer Wald, 10 October 1821, AMNH 675466, male, Saalberg bei Kahla, 18 October 1821.
