Alauda albigularis
Brehm
Alauda albigularis
Brehm, 1841
: cols. 137, 152 (Ragusa und Klagenfurth).
Now
Alauda arvensis arvensis
Linnaeus, 1758
. See
Vaurie, 1959: 54
, and
Cramp, 1988: 188
.
LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 457931
, adult female, collected at
Dubrovnik
(= Ragusa),
42°40′N
,
18°07′E
(Times Atlas),
Croatia
, on
4 May 1839
, by Michahelles. From the
Brehm Collection
via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Brehm stated that he had only
two specimens
of his
A. albigularis
. The above specimen was designated the
lectotype
by
Hartert (1918b: 22)
. The second specimen, AMNH 457930, adult male, collected at Klagenfurt,
46°38′N
,
14°20′E
(Times Atlas),
Austria
, on
5 March 1826
, was said by
Hartert (1918b: 22)
to be a specimen of
A. a.
arvensis
, in contrast to the
lectotype
, which he thought agreed with
A. a. cantarella
Bonaparte, 1850. However, modern interpretations (
Vaurie, 1959: 54
;
Cramp, 1988: 188
) place specimens from
Germany
and
Austria
in the nominotypical subspecies
A. a.
arvensis
. AMNH 457930 was exchanged to ZFMK.
