Now Sylvia cantillans albistriata ( Brehm, 1855 ) . See Hartert, 1918a: 33 , and Shirihai et al., 2001: 380–381 . LECTOTYPE : AMNH 455634 , adult male, collected in Egypt , undated. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : Hartert (1918a: 33) listed this undated specimen as the type of albistriata , thereby designating it the lectotype , but there is some doubt about its status. It was first labeled Curruca rufigularis by Brehm; rufigularis was marked out and albistriata added and then marked out by Brehm. On the reverse of this label, Brehm wrote the name Curruca leucopogon orientalis . I found no other Brehm specimen in the collection labeled albistriata and provisionally accept this specimen as the lectotype .
