Abstract
From 1870 to 1872, Jean Cabanis described four species-group taxa of Siberian birds. These include Gallinago heterocerca (Scolopacidae), Accentor erythropygus (Prunellidae), Parus obtectus (Paridae), and Pyrrhula cinerascens (Fringillidae). In this paper we identified the types of these taxa, restricted their type localities, and checked their taxonomic identity with the following results: (1) We demonstrated that type specimens of all species-group taxa were deposited in the Berlin Museum and that there is no evidence that any type specimens were deposited in the Warszawa Museum; (2) we restricted type localities of Gallinago heterocerca, Parus obtectus and Pyrrhula cineracea to Kultuk, Russia; and (3) we restricted the type locality of Accentor erythropygus to Utulik brook above Utulik village, Russia.References
