Calamoherpe major Brehm, 1855: 235 (in Galizien, selten in Deutschland).

Now Acrocephalus arundinaceus arundinaceus (Linnaeus, 1758) . See Hartert, 1918a: 30, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 625.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 455285 About AMNH , unsexed adult, collected at Wolica in Galicia , Poland, on 6 May 1853, by Count Wodzicki (no. 722). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm did not indicate how many specimens he had. Hartert (1918: 30) designated the Wolica specimen the lectotype; it still retains the Count Wodzicki label. Eleven specimens were cataloged at AMNH as major ; eight of these remain at AMNH. In addition to the lectotype, only AMNH 455286 About AMNH , from Rodathal, collected 4 May 1832, was labeled major by Brehm and so is a paralectotype. Three specimens, AMNH 455289 About AMNH , 455290 About AMNH , and 455291, were exchanged to ZFMK ; if any are labeled major by Brehm, they also are paralectotypes.
