Treatment

Melanocorypha tenuirostris Brehm, 1845 , col. 346 (no locality given).

Now Calandrella brachydactyla brachydactyla (Leisler, 1814) View in CoL . See Hartert, 1918b: 18, and Cramp, 1988: 123.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 457671 About AMNH , adult male, collected in Attica, Greece, in April 1845. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert (1918b: 18) designated the above specimen the lectotype. A second specimen labeled tenuirostris by Brehm and collected in Attica in May 1845 is now AMNH 457672 About AMNH ; this specimen is a paralectotype. A third specimen, AMNH 457670 About AMNH , was collected by A.E. Brehm in Madrid in 1857, too late to have been a part of the original series .

No locality was given in the original description, but Brehm (1855: 121) gave the locality as ‘‘In Griechenland und bei Triest’’.
