Melanocorypha calandra hebraica

(Jenin, N.
Palestine
).

LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 555141
, adult male, collected at
Jenin
,
32°28′N
,
35°18′E
(Times Atlas),
Jordan
, on
1 May 1920
, by Colonel Richard Meinertzhagen. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description,
Meinertzhagen (1920: 21)
noted that the type was a male collected at Jenin, north
Palestine
, on
1 May 1920
and was in the Rothschild Museum. There are
two specimens
with these data now in AMNH. Because the specimen listed above bears the Rothschild type label, it seems certain that
Hartert (1928: 200)
intended it to be the
lectotype
, but because of the ambiguity, I hereby designate AMNH 555141 the
lectotype
. AMNH 555142, the other male, is the
paralectotype
.
