Abstract:
Twenty species-group names were created for Rock Nuthatches of the Sitta neumayer species group in 1790–1950. Their applicability is discussed, their type specimens are identified, and their type localities are specified. Lectotypes were designed for three nominal species, incl. Sitta obscura Zarudnyj & Loudon, 1905, Sitta dresseri Zarudnyj & Buturlin, 1906, and Sitta zarudnyi Buturlin, 1907.
