Nomenclatural and taxonomic status of bird taxa (Aves) described by an ornithological swindler, Josef Prokop Pražák (1870?1904)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Josef Prokop Pražák published a number of ornithological papers from 1894?1900. My reconstruction of Pražák's CV shows that Pražák´s taxonomic studies are connected with the ornithological collections in Vienna and Edinburgh. I document that his taxonomic papers include many fraudulent data and that his activities included stealing and relabeling museum specimens. The revision of Pražák´s new bird taxa reveals that Remizus and 16 species-group names are available for nomenclatural purposes. I defined type series for all, and I restricted type localities for most, of these species-group taxa. I synonymized Remizus pendulinus raddei Pražák, 1897, with Remiz pendulinus pendulinus (Linnaeus, 1758). In addition I found that Vanellus grisescens was describedby Grant (1912), not by Pražák, and I synonymized this species with Vanellus chilensis lampronotus (Wagler, 1827). I found that five names created by Pražák have no standing in zoological nomenclature.
