description: <i>Parus major longipennis</i> Rothschild <i>Parus major longipennis</i> Rothschild, 1922: 11 (Lichiang Range). Now <i>Parus major tibetanus</i> Hartert, 1905. See Rothschild, 1926: 315, Snow, 1967c: 119, Eck and Martens, 2006: 36–38, and Gosler and Clement, 2007: 739–741. LECTOTYPE: <b>AMNH 680564</b>, adult male, collected in the Lijiang (<i>5</i> Lichiang) Range, 9–12,000 ft, 27.13N, 100.10E (BirdLife International, 2001: 2570), northwestern Yunnan, China, on 10 December 1921, by George Forrest (no. 921). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Rothschild did not designate a type in the original description but gave measurements for at least three specimens. Hartert (1928a: 209) listed Forrest’s specimen no. 921 as the type, thus designating it the lectotype. It is marked ‘‘Type’’ on Forrest’s label, bears a Rothschild type label, and is the only specimen of ‘‘ <i>longipennis</i> ’’ in AMNH collected by Forrest in 1921 or earlier. There are two paralectotypes in BMNH (LeCroy and Dickinson, 2001: 192).
