•12 NOVITATKS ZOOLOGICAE XXV. 1918. 



Renthendorf in the winters o£ 1816, 1819, and 1827. There are now only three 

 with the name " siibpytiopsiiiaciis '' on the labels, from 1817 and 1834, and 

 even if the name should have been altered there could not be eight, and no 

 adult male that could be called " type." 



22. Cmcirostra brachyrhynchos Brehm = Loxia pytyopsittams. 



Crucirostra brachyrhynchos Brehm, Naumannia, 1S53. p. 185 (" Er besucht nur zuweilen, wie im 

 Winter 1818-19. die hie^ige Gegcnd "'). 



Type: tJ ad., Renthendorf, ii. 1819. C. L. Brehm leg. 

 23. Cnicirostra pseudopytiopsittacus Brehm = Loxia curvirostra curvirostra. 



Crucirostra pseiidfipytiopsittacus Brehm, Naiciminnia, 1853. p. 187. (Description of two specimens, 

 " die einzigen welche ich erh.ilten konnte," a male and a female). 



Type : tj ad., Rodatal, 18. ii. 1834. C. L. Brehm leg. 



In Naumannia, 1853, the author says that he possesses only two, a male 

 shot 17. ii. 1817, and a female from 20. x. 1834. I think there can be no doubt 

 that the first date is a mistake and that the date on the label, 18. ii. 1834, is 

 correct. This male agrees very well mth the description. The name pseudo- 

 pytiopsittacus is very descriptive, as it is a real giant of Loxia cmvir. curvirostra, 

 though it does not come up to L. pytyopsitlacus ; the bUl is not so wide, more 

 elongated, especially the under mandible is less broad ; the wing measures 

 100-7 mm. 



24. Curvirostra 1) macrorhynchos Brehm = Loxia curv. curvirostra. 



Curvirostra macrorhynchos Brehm, Naumannia. 1853. p. 192 (" luh erliielt ihn im November 1819, 

 im Febraar 1S30, im Junius 1844, im Mai 1845. etc.") * 



Type : S media aetate, Rodatal, 10. v. 1845, C. L. Brehm leg. This is the 

 only specimen with the name macrorhynchos, and must be the type, as it agrees 

 excellently with the description. 



25. Cruciiostra intercedens Brehm = Loxia citrv. curvirostra. 



Crucirostra intercedens Brelim. Naumannia. 1853. p. 187 (Mitunter in den " hiesigen Waldern"). 



Type: <J ad., Rodatal, 10. v. 1819. C. L. Brehm leg. 



This is the only adult male in the collection, and it agrees excellently with 

 the description. 



The specimen mentioned by the author, shot on the 12.ii. 1847, and chang- 

 ing directly from the striped juvenile plumage into the red li ature one, is also 

 in the collection. 



These intercedens have large and stumpy beaks for Loxia curvirostra curvi- 

 rostra, but they are stiU considerably less than biUs of pytyopsittacus. 



26. Craciiostra nibriJasciata Brehm = Loxia curv. curvirostra. 



Crucirostra rubrijasciata Brehm, Isis. 1845. p. 245-250 (Rentheadorfj.f 



Type : S ad., Renthendorf, caught 2.ii. 1844, died 14. ii. 1844 (according to 

 label), or 2.iii. 1844 (according to Isis, 1845. p. 250.
