Petronia saxorum

Quick answer

COMMENTS: Hartert (1918 a: 14), by listing the male collected on 10 December 1826 as the type, designated it the lectotype of saxorum. It is tied together with a female, AMNH 456564, collected on 10 December 1826, a paralectotype, also labeled saxorum by Brehm. There are two additional paralectotypes in AMNH labeled saxorum by Brehm: AMNH 456566, female juvenile, and AMNH 456567, male juvenile, both collected at Lobeda near Jena, on 10 August 1826. Four additional Brehm specimens cataloged as Petronia petronia petronia and from Lobeda were exchanged with ZFMK. They may be paralectotypes of macrorhynchos, rupestris, or saxorum, depending on how Brehm had labeled them.
