The typical Molacilla hoarula L. is not to be found east 

 of the Ural mountains and the Caspian sea but is represen- 

 ted in Central Asia by Motacilla hoarula melanope Pall. 

 which is distinguished by a shorter tail. Hartert mentions that 

 the tails are between 88 to 95 mm. in length. The distri- 

 bution of this subspecies is still not quite fixed but it seems 

 to extend from Ural and Caucasus through Siberia to Kamt- 

 schatka.

As is already shown by Pleske the wall-creeper has a very 

 great distribution in Central Asia and is probably breeding 

 in every mountain there. Both the male and the female are 

 in full plumage.
