One single specimen defined as type in the original de- 

 scription. However, in the collection of the ZFMK two 

 males collected at the same day and locality bear the hand- 

 written notice "type" by von Jordans. Thus, both speci- 

 mens are listed as lectotypes. Originally described from 

 eighteen males and thirteen females; ZFMK 57. 861-862 

 exchanged with AMNH, New York, whereabouts of oth- 

 er specimens unknown. - Dickinson (2003): Parus ma- 

 jor niethammeri.
