Most of the species involved in this article were described in the Annali del Museo ci. Notes: these syntypes are cited by Salvadori, but they are not mentioned in the index of the same work. List of Specimens of Birds in the Collection of the British Museum, Part V, p.

SYNTYPE; MZUT Av4639 – skin; immature man?; South America, February 1845; obtained from “Colombi” (from Brest, France); the date February 1845 most likely refers to the purchase of the copy. The origin of the two syntypes in the Leiden Museum is not even known, but they belonged to the old collection (Dekker 2003: 26).

5405 of the Turin Museum as "the type", suggesting that it is unique, but Arbocco et al. The specimens from the Museum of Turin that come from Sardinia (those indicated by Elter) cannot be part.
SPECIMENS WITH NO TYPE STATUS
Notes: Salvadori (1915) lists this specimen in the index (page 45) as “cotype?” but in the text (page 8) he does not consider it a typical example. However, only Av9309 has a catch date and location that match Sclater's original description according to Salvadori (1877a). Report that in the Museo civico di Storia naturale di Genova there are some holotypes (“the types” for Salvadori) of the sp. This bird is now housed in the Genoa Museum and listed as a “supporting specimen” (Arbocco et al.
Four syntypes are hosted in the Museo Civico di Storia naturale di Genova (Arbocco et al. Notes: Salvadori claims that the first description of Falco eleonorae took place in the Revue Zoologique (Gené and lists specimens Av49 and Av51 as types. In the same note). , Marmora wrote that pages 41-47 had already been printed, so we could assume that the date of publication of this part of the Memoir is earlier.
The holotype was in the Museum of Genoa, but was not found by Arbocco et al. In the same work, Salvadori recalls that the holotype of Chalcopsittacus chloropterus was captured in the Baja Hall in September 1875 and corresponds to the male n. This specimen is housed in the Genoa Museum (Arbocco et al. The capture location is Yule Island, located near Baja Hall.
The two syntypes collected by Beccari are still housed in the Genoa Museum (Arbocco et al. Notes: in the original description, Sclater does not indicate the number of specimens examined, but Salvadori (1877a: 145) signals as the "type" a male from Hatam (field number 319) and reports that among the specimens collected by D'Albertis there was also a female, apparently corresponding to the MZUT specimen Av4126.Pelzeln had also reported a specimen in the "kaiserlichen Museum" in Vienna, with the Temminck MS .
Notes: Salvadori (1915: 8) considers these specimens as types of Nectarinia lepida and Elter also states that this species was described by Temminck in Pl. The specimens examined by Horsfield were part of a collection of Javan birds collected in the years 1811-1817 and housed in the Museum of the Honorable East India Company (Horsfield two syntypes are now kept in the Tring Museum (Warren et Harrison 1971: 502) But in the same work (page 46, in index) he defined the specimen Av2073 as a cotype of Temminck.
LOST TYPES
Festa in Gualaquiza, seen by him in the Museum of Turin, but (p. 56) he explicitly writes that he considers only two speci as types. Two specimens were described, but Salvadori considered the Turin specimen to be “the” type; Salvadori himself wrote that the second copy was sent to Count Turati of Milan. According to Arbocco et al., a lectotype and two paratypes (sic) are housed in the Genoa Museum, but we consider it more appropriate to consider the three specimens as syntypes.
