Egypt
, undated.
From

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
.
