摘要
The widespread Russet Sparrow is usually called Passer rutilans(Temminck).I have shown that this specific name was published on 31 December 1836,and that it is preceded by cinnamomeus,published by Gould on 8 April 1836.The species thus should be called Passer cinnamomeus(Gould,1836)due to the Principle of Priority.The three generally recognized subspecies should bear the following names:P.cinamomeus rutilans(Temminck,1836),P.cinnamomeus intensior Rothschild,1922,and P.cinnamomeus cinnamomeus(Gould,1836),respectively.
山麻雀是一种广布的小型鸣禽,拉丁学名通常为Passer rutilans(Temminck)。经作者考证,该种名发表于1836年12月31日,但在此之前,Gould已于1836年4月8日发表了该种并命名为Passer cinnamomeus。因此,根据动物命名法中的优先原则,该种应称作Passer cinnamomeus(Gould,1836)。其公认的3个亚种也应分别称作P.cinamomeus rutilans(Temminck,1836),P.cinnamomeus intensior Rothschild,1922及P.cinnamomeus cinnamomeus(Gould,1836)。
