Now Luscinia luscinia (Linnaeus, 1758) . See Har­ tert, 1918a: 34, and Cramp, 1988: 616 . LECTOTYPE : AMNH 454819 , adult male, collected at Budapest (5 Pesth, on label), 478309N, 198039E (Times Atlas), Hungary , on 13 September 1838 . From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: This specimen bears the name Luscinia eximia in Brehm’s hand, the Rothschild Collection label bears the correct data, and Hartert (1918a: 34) , in designating it the lectotype , correctly gave the data. However, the Rothschild type labels for this specimen and for the type of Luscinia hybrida , below, were reversed, so a corrected AMNH type label has been added. AMNH 454823, adult male from Budapest (5 Pesth), collected in May 1838 , and labeled eximia by Brehm is the only paralectotype in AMNH. This had been mistakenly cataloged at AMNH as pomarina . A third specimen, AMNH 454820, incorrectly cataloged as eximia , is from ‘‘Pommern’’, is labeled as pomarina by Brehm, and is not a paralectotype of eximia . Ripley (1964: 40) included luscinia in the genus Erithacus . Sibley and Monroe (1990: 532) treated the genus Luscinia in the tribe Saxicolini , subfamily Muscicapinae ; Dickinson (2003: 675) placed it in the subfamily Saxicolinae , family Muscicapidae . Molecular studies of Luscinia luscinia are reported by Wink et al. (2002a , 2002b ).
