ARTIODACTYLA 

 Cervidae 



Alces pfizemnayeri Zukowsky, 1910 

 Wild und Hund 16,45: 808. 



Material. ZFMK 2009.632, a possible syntype or para- 

 lectotype; skull of adult male, junction of Aldan and Lena 

 River, Yakutsk Province, Russia; collected by E. Pfizen- 

 mayer (Tiblisi) in Nov 1909. 

 Current name. Alces americanus (Clinton, 1822). 

 Comments. Pfizenmayer (1910) published an account on 

 a large form of moose from northern Siberia in which he 

 figured five male skulls from the Aldan Range. Zukowsky 

 (1910: 808) subsequently commented on this article and 

 named the moose Alces pfizemnayeri. In 1914 he added 

 a more detailed account in which he fixed the skull shown 

 in Pfizenmayer's (1910) figure 6 as the type; this skull had 

 been donated to the Berlin Museum and catalogued un- 

 der number A. 19.09 (Zukowsky 1914: 38). A letter from 

 E. Pfizenmayer to Alexander Koenig dated 1 5 June 1911 

 (ZFMK Archives) tells that he sold other skulls from that 

 series to the museums of Vienna, Washington, Stockholm, 

 and Bonn; one he kept for himself. Zukowsky 's ( 1 9 1 4) ac- 

 tion of fixing the Berlin specimen as the type can be tak- 

 en as a lectotype designation; the remaining specimens 

 will then be paralectotypes. The Bonn specimen was not 

 figured in the paper of Pfizenmayer (1910); its status is 

 therefore questionable. It is, however, one of the original 

 specimens obtained by Pfizenmayer from the type local- 

 ity. Grubb (2005) included the name as a synonym in Al- 

 ces americanus. Zukowsky 's name, however, is the ear- 

 liest available name for the Palaearctic range of the Amer- 

 ican Moose and is sometimes applied as technical name 

 for the Yakutsk Moose (Franzmann 1981).
