COMMENTS
:
Hartert (1918b: 19)
explained that Brehm’s
G. viarum
of 1841 ‘‘inhabit[ed] the roads between Delitzsch and Leipzig’’. AMNH received
four specimens
from that area. The above
lectotype
, designated by
Hartert (1918b: 20)
, is one of a pair tied together. The female, AMNH 457722 with the same data, is a
paralectotype
, as are AMNH 457723 and AMNH 457724, a male and female tied together, from ‘‘Brinnis bei Leipzig’’.
