Alaemon alaudipes boavistae Hartert, 1917c: 56 (Boavista) View in CoL .

Now Alaemon alaudipes boavistae Hartert, 1917 View in CoL . See

Vaurie, 1959: 26, and Cramp, 1988: 74.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 554649 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Boavista Island , Cape Verde Islands, on 29 October 1897, by Boyd Alexander. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert (1917c: 56) said that the type was a male adult from Boavista, collected by Boyd Alexander. He did not allude to any other specimen. However, AMNH 554650, the only other Boyd Alexander specimen of this taxon that came with the Rothschild Collection, is a female collected on 30 October 1897 and is a paratype.

Certhilauda meridionalis A.E. Brehm Certhilauda meridionalis A.E. Brehm, 1854: 77 (Provinz Dongola in Nubien).

Now Alaemon alaudipes alaudipes (Desfontaine, 1789) .

See Hartert, 1918: 22, and Keith et al., 1992: 62.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 457706 About AMNH , adult male, collected in [Old] Dongola , 18°15′N, 30°45′E ( R. J. Dowsett, personal commun.), Sudan, on 12 September 1851, by Alfred E. Brehm. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Only locality data were given in the original description. Two Brehm specimens of this taxon from [Old] Dongola came to AMNH. The male specimen was designated the lectotype by Hartert (1918b: 22). AMNH 457707, an adult female from [Old] Dongola, collected on 15 September 1851, is a paralectotype.

Melanocorypha calandra megarhynchos Brehm Melanocorypha calandra megarhynchos Brehm, 1856c:

374 (in Algerien und auf Sardinien).

Now Melanocorypha calandra calandra (Linnaeus,

1766). See Hartert, 1918: 17, and Cramp, 1988: 93.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 457662 About AMNH , adult male, collected in Algeria, in spring (‘‘vere’’). From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert (1918b: 17) designated this specimen the lectotype. A second specimen, AMNH 457660, juvenile female, collected on Sardinia in July 1826, is a paralectotype. On the original labels, both of these specimens were identified by Brehm as Alauda calandra megarhynchos , but the megarhynchos was marked out and longirostris added in Brehm’s hand. I have no evidence that this latter name was ever used.
