Description
Passer montanus taivanensis Hartert
Passer montanus taivanensis Hartert, 1904a: 161 (Daihoku, Formosa).
Now Passer montanus saturatus Stejneger, 1885. See Hartert, 1919: 159; Vaurie, 1956: 8–17; 1959: 579; Dickinson, 2003: 717; and Summers-Smith, 2009: 804–805.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 717913, unsexed, collected at Daihoku, Taiwan (= Formosa), on 9 October (year not given), by Japanese collectors for F.W. Jonas (no. 448). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Hartert gave the number ‘‘448’’ of the holotype in the original description; this is the only Jonas specimen bearing a number. It also bears a Rothschild type label filled in by Hartert, who mistakenly entered the name as taivanus. The spelling in the original description is taivanensis. The description was based on 28 specimens from
Daihoku, only 16 of which came to AMNH. The 15 paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 717914–717928, all collected at Daihoku and from the Jonas Collection.
