Abstract
Based on genetic and morphometric differences, Dietzen et al. (2003) (1) proposed to separate the Gran Ca- naria Robin from E. r. superbus of Tenerife as a new taxon in a nomenclaturally invalid way. Here, we provide a formal description of the new subspecies (Erithacus rubecula marionae subsp. nov.) in accordance with the rules of the Interna- tional Commission of Zoological Nomenclature.
