Treatment

Alauda gracilis Brehm, 1841 : cols. 137, 153 (Kaern

then).

Now Alauda arvensis arvensis Linnaeus, 1758 View in CoL . See Hartert, 1904a: 244, and Cramp, 1988: 188.

SYNTYPE: AMNH 457915, adult male, collected in Carinthia, Austria, on 16 March 1836. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: This taxon was not listed by Hartert in his various lists of types in the Rothschild Collection; therefore, the above specimen was not designated a lectotype. It does, however, bear a Rothschild type label and has been included in the AMNH type collection. Brehm (1841, col. 153) stated that he had a pair of specimens from Carinthia. The other syntype, AMNH 457916 About AMNH , was exchanged with ZFMK .

‘‘Gerlach in Kaernthen’’ appears on Brehm’s label, but I did not find this locality.
