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



koenigi. 



Fringdla spodiogenys koenigi Bothschild & Hartert, Om. Monatsber. 1893. p. 97 (Tanger, N. Marocoo) ; 

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



Type : <? 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 

 Pinch 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. = Carduelis carduelis britannicus. 



Acanthis carduelis britannicus Hartert, Vog. pal. Fauna, i. p. 68 (1903 — British Isles, Type Rotting- 

 dean in Sussex^. 



Type : 3 ad., Rottingdean, April 1902. Brazenor Bros. leg. 



189. Acanthis caidneUs africanus Hart. = Carduelis carduelis africanus. 



Acanthis carduelis africanus Hartert, Vog. pal. Fauna, i. p. 69 (1903 — Spain, Marocco, Algeria, 

 Tunisia). 



Type : 3 ad., Mhoiwla (Mehuila), east of Mazagan, W. Marocco, l.ii. 1902. 

 F. W. Riggenbach leg. No. 78. 



190. Loxigilla Chazaliei Oust. = Pyrrhulagra noctis chazaliei. 

 LoxigUla Chazaliei Oustalet, Bull, Soc. Zool. Fratux, xx. p. 184 (1895 — ^Baibuda). 



Types (only two specimens collected), two 3, Barbuda, 15. ii. 1895. Comte 

 de Dahnas leg. 



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

 Am. i. (1901). 



191. Procarduelis rubescens Blanf. = Procarduelis rubescens. 

 Procardudis rubescens Blanford, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1871, p. 694 (Sikkim). 



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

 ford's handwriting : " Type described P.Z.8. 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 citrinelloides 



Spinus citrinelloides kikuyensis Ne:\imann, Jawm. f, Orn. 1906. p. 366 (" Kikuyu, Kenia, Naiwasoba- 

 See"). 



Type : (J 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.
