Nomenclatural and taxonomic status of birds (Aves) collected during the Gmelin Expedition to the Caspian Sea in 1768-1774
Original language description
At least 61 bird species were described as new to science on the basis of specimens collected during the Gmelin Expedition to the Caspian Sea in 1768-1774. All of the type specimens are lost. I revised the taxonomic identity and type localities of the taxa on the basis of published data, including original descriptions. I restricted the type localities of most of the taxa involved. New taxonomic conclusions are as follows: Seven nominal species are synonyms of earlier nominal taxa. Emberiza arundinaceais a nomen oblitum in favor of Emberiza pyrrhuloides. Motacilla obscura is a nomen dubium. The Caucasian-Elburz subspecies of Prunella modularis should be called Prunella modularis orientalis. Taxonomic meaning of Parus luteus was fixed by designation ofa lectotype. Saxicola maurus variegatus applies to trans-Caucasian form of Saxicola maurus. The northern Caucasian form of Saxicola maurus should be called Saxicola maurus amaliae. Porphyrio veterum dates from Pallas (1811).
