166 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXVI. 1919. 



187. Fringilla spodiogenys koenigi Rothsch. & Hart. = Fringilla coelebs 



koenigi. 



FringeUa spodiogenys koenigi Rothschild & Hartert, Om. Monatsber. 1893. p. 97 (Tanger.N. Marocco) ; 

 op. cit. 1894. p. 75, corr. ; Hartert, Vog. pal. Fauna, i. p. 128. 



Type: J ad., Tanger, 5.iv. 1884. Olcese leg. Ex. Coll. Bartlett, ex. Wilh. 

 Schliiter. 



{Fringilla coelebs koenigi is not spread over the whole of Marocco. I only 

 know it from the neighbourhood of Tanger, and it is probably restricted to 

 the northern peninsula, the neighbourhood of Tanger, Ceuta, Tetuan, and the 

 Rif -country, and may not occur south of the River Sebou. Near Mazagan no 

 Finch seems to breed, while in and about Mogador and in the southern Atlas 

 F. coelebs africana is found. The typical F. coelebs spodiogenys appears to be 

 confined to Tunisia.) 



188. Acanthis carduelis britannicus Hart. = Cardtielis carduelis britannicus. 

 Acanihis carduelis britannicus Hartert, Yog. pal. Fauna, i. p. 08 (1903 — British Isles, Type Rotting- 

 dean in Sussex), 



Type : S ad., Rottingdean, April 1902. Brazenor Bros. leg. 

 189. Acanthis carduelis aWcanus Hart. = Carduelis uirduelis africanus. 



Acanthis carduelis africanus Hartert, Vog. pal. Fauna, i. p. 09 (1903 — Spain, Marocco, Algeria, 

 Txmisia). 



Type : <S ad., Mhoiwla (Mehuila), east of Mazagan, W. Marocco, l.ii. 1902. 

 F. W. Riggenbach leg. No. 78. 



190. Loxigilla Chazaliei Oust. = Pyrrhulagra noctis chazaliei. 

 Loxigilla Chazaliei Oustalet, Bull. Soc. Zool. France, xx. p. 184 (1895 — Barbuda). 



Types (only two specimens collected), two d, Barbuda, 15. ii. 1895. Comte 

 de Dalmas leg. 



This distinct form has been overlooked in Ridgway's B. Norlh and Middle 

 Am. i. (1901). 



191. Procarduelis rubescens Blanf. = Procarduelis rubescens. 



Procarduelis rubescens Blanford, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1871, p. 694 (Silikim). 



Type : <J, Sikkim, sent to Blanford by Mandelli. Label in W. T. Blan- 

 ford's handwriting : " Type described P.Z.S. 1871, p. 693, pi. Ixxiv. W. T. B." 

 The Tring Museum received it with Mr. Elwes' collection. I do not know what 

 happened to the female, which came to Blanford together with the male ; 

 probably it has been lost somewhere. 



192. Spinus citrinelloides kikuyensis Neum. = Carduelis ciirinelloides 



kikuyensis. 

 Spinus citrinelloides kikuyensis Neumann, Journ. j. Om. 1905, p. 356 (" Kikuyu, Kenia, Naiwascha- 

 Sce "). 



Type: S ad., Escarpment, Kikuyu Mts., E. Africa. W. Doherty leg. 

 (It is in my opinion quite wrong to separate the genera " Spinus " and 

 Carduelis, if we admit that colour alone cannot serve as a generic character.
