Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax barbarus Vaurie Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax barbarus Vaurie, 1954a: 1 (North Africa (Morocco to Algeria) and Canaries (La Palma Island only). Now Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax barbarus Vaurie, 1954. See Blake and Vaurie, 1962: 259; Fry et al., 2000: 568–570; Dickinson, 2003: 512; and dos Anjos, 2009: 615–616. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 290240, adult male, collected on the Plateau, 1900 m, Middle Altas Mountains, Morocco, on 27 April 1929, by E. Hartert and E. Flükiger (no. 302). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Vaurie gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description, and (on p. 3) noted that he measured 22 specimens from Morocco, Algeria, and the Canaries. There are 23 specimens in addition to the type, all marked barbarus by Vaurie, and I have considered all of them paratypes: Morocco, AMNH 290241– 290245, 675670–675675, 675681, 675682, eight males, five females; Canaries, AMNH 675668, 675669, two males; Algeria, AMNH 675683–675690, seven males, one female. The individuals with lower catalog numbers were in a group of specimens presented to AMNH by Rothschild in 1920.Published as part of Lecroy, Mary, 2014, Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History Part 12.
