Budytes megarhynchos Brehm, 1842: 578 (Dalmatien) . Now Motacilla flava cinereocapilla Savi, 1831 View in CoL . See

Hartert, 1918b: 25, Vaurie, 1959: 77, and Cramp,

1988: 413.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 458493, adult male, and AMNH 458494, adult female, collected in Dalmatia, Croatia, on 4 July 1830. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: These two specimens are tied together, and Hartert (1918b: 25) noted: ‘‘Though these specimens were first labeled Budytes cinereocapilla longirostris and then altered [to] albicollis, they are clearly the types of megarhynchos 1842.’’

Alström and Mild (2003: 268) considered western European examples of this species to be closest to M. f. flava .
