Additional information
The holotype is SMF 16632, an adult female from Konjic (Herzegovina, former Yugoslavia), collected 9 Apr 1893, originally from the O. Kleinschmidt collection. According to Voous (1953), the type-series consisted of 6 males and 4 females. The 3 paratypes not listed above are to be found in some of the 22 bird collections examined by Voous for his study on the European Jays (Voous 1953). Of the Yugoslavian birds in the ZMA, Voous (1953) explicitly excluded ZMA 9342 from his type-series (Krk Island, an albipectus) as well as 6 autumn birds from Zagreb which were considered to be migrant nominate glandarius.
Measurements
As far as types in the ZMA are concerned, all measurements were taken by C.S. Roselaar, unless otherwise noted, using the methods as described in Svensson (1992) and comparable with the data published in the Handbook of Western Palearctic Birds. All are in mm, and are given to the nearest mm when taken with a ruler and to one-tenth of a mm when measured with calipers.
