LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 455522
, adult male, collected at
Ahlsdorf
,
Germany
, in
June 1824
.
From
the
Brehm Collection
via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
:
Hartert (1918a: 31)
listed this specimen as the type of
undulata
, thereby designating it the
lectotype
, but incorrectly listing it as having been described in the genus
Sylvia
. He also noted that it was collected by von Seyffertitz. There are three additional specimens from Ahlsdorf cataloged at AMNH. One, AMNH 455528, is labeled
undulata
by Brehm and is a
paralectotype
. The other two, AMNH 455526 and 455527, exchanged to ZMB, were collected at Ahlsdorf prior to the publication of the name and may also be
paralectotypes
.
See
Mey (2003)
for 1792 as the date of publication of Bechstein’s name.
