Miliaria meridionalis Brehm

Miliaria meridionalis Brehm, 1831: 1007 (Dalmatien) .

Now Emberiza calandra calandra Linnaeus, 1758 . See Hartert, 1918: 16, Vaurie, 1956b: 1–3, and Dickinson, 2003: 777.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 456279 , male, collected in Dalmatia , Croatia, in January 1824. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The above specimen was labeled meridionalis by Brehm, and Hartert’s (1918: 15) listing it as the type designated it the lectotype. Paralectotype: AMNH 456280, female, Dalmatia, September 1824, labeled meridionalis by Brehm.

Miliaria septentrionalis Brehm

Miliaria septentrionalis Brehm, 1831: 291 ( Schweden und Rügen).

Now Emberiza calandra calandra Linnaeus, 1758 . See Hartert, 1918: 16, Vaurie, 1956b: 1–3, and Dickinson, 2003: 777.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 456269 , adult male, collected on Rügen Island , Germany, on 19 July 1819.

COMMENTS: Hartert (1918: 16) noted that the above specimen was probably collected by Schilling, ‘‘like most Rügen specimens in the [Brehm] collection’’ and by listing it as the type, designated it the lectotype. Hartert (1918: 16) also called attention to the fact that both Sweden and Rügen were localities mentioned in the original description, but that there were no Swedish specimens in the collection. Specimens from Brinnis and Mecklenburg noted by Hartert (1918: 16) as having been collected after the 1831 description of septentrionalis , were all exchanged by AMNH to ZFMK.
