the remainder of taxa described earlier of the 51 in subspecies, are synonyms or require confirmation. Twenty-three taxa
the ZMA consist of holotypes (22 specimens), 11 are syntypes (17 specimens), and 33 are paratypes (110 specimens), and
altogether 149 specimens have type status. Among the types of valid species are those of birds like Japanese Waxwing
Bombycillajaponica (described 1824) and Sillem’s Mountain-finch Leucosticte sillemi (described 1992). Also, 23 taxa are discussed
