(Times Atlas),
Germany

. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Brehm, in his original description, mentioned the localities of Greifswald and Ahlsdorf.
Hartert (1918a: 31)
listed both of the above specimens as types of
tritici
, thus not designating a
lectotype
.
Seven specimens
were cataloged at AMNH as
tritici
, four of which were collected after the date of the description. In addition to the above
two syntypes
, former AMNH 455482, collected at Ahlsdorf on
8 May 1828
, was exchanged to ZFMK. It is the specimen mentioned by
Brehm (1831: 449)
as having been collected in 1828 at Ahlsdorf and is a third
syntype
.
