Calamoherpe juncorum
Brehm
Calamoherpe juncorum
Brehm, 1831: 1015
(Renthendorf, 1830, and Görlitz).
Now
Acrocephalus schoenobaenus
(Linnaeus, 1758)
. See
Hartert, 1918a: 31
, and del
Hoyo et al., 2006: 617–618
.
LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 455499
, adult male, collected at
Renthendorf
(
5
hiesieger Gegend, on label),
50.48N
,
11.58E
(
USBGN
, 1959),
Germany
, on
3 May 1830
.
From
the
Brehm Collection
via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description, Brehm mentioned that this form first appeared at Renthendorf in
August 1830
, but the date on the
lectotype
is
May 1830
; also, he mentioned two additional specimens: a young female collected on 12 August, and a young bird collected on
1 September 1830
.
Hartert (1918a: 31)
considered the above male, labeled
juncorum
by Brehm, to be the type (
5
lectotype
).
Five specimens
were cataloged at AMNH as
juncorum
, three having been sent on exchange to ZFMK. Two of these, former AMNH 455500 and 455501, were collected in
August 1830
at Renthendorf and are
paralectotypes
if they were labeled
juncorum
by Brehm. Former AMNH 455503 was collected before the publication date of the description and, if labeled
juncorum
by Brehm, is probably also a
paralectotype
. The one additional specimen remaining at AMNH, AMNH 455502, was collected after the date of the description.
