Remarks : According to Jordan (1927b: 191), the only figure (Plate 29, fig. 2) of fS. avus in the type descrip¬ 
tion was a photo of an Austrian specimen, f 4 S', helmsi Steindachner (1860). Fritzche (1980:219) mistak¬ 
enly gave the wrong specimen number (SU 44 rather than SU46) for the holotype. David (1943:70) 
mislabeled LACM 10134 as 10334, however the specimen is correctly labeled in the legend of Plate 10, 
fig. 1. Specimen LACM 129 is listed in the LACM database as a bird from the Rancholabrean of New 
Mexico [email from Vanessa Rhue (LACM) dated 6, 2011], there the whereabouts of the specimen listed 
by David (1943) is unknown.
