Calamoherpe tritici Brehm

Calamoherpe tritici Brehm, 1831: 449 (Greifswald, Ahlsdorf) .

Now Acrocephalus schoenobaenus (Linnaeus, 1758) . See Hartert, 1918a: 31, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 617–618.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 455480, adult male, and AMNH 455481, adult female, collected at Greifswald, 54.06N, 13.24E (Times Atlas),

Germany, on 6 June 1826. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Brehm, in his original description, mentioned the localities of Greifswald and Ahlsdorf. Hartert (1918a: 31) listed both of the above specimens as types of tritici , thus not designating a lectotype. Seven specimens were cataloged at AMNH as tritici , four of which were collected after the date of the description. In addition to the above two syntypes, former AMNH 455482, collected at Ahlsdorf on 8 May 1828, was exchanged to ZFMK. It is the specimen mentioned by Brehm (1831: 449) as having been collected in 1828 at Ahlsdorf and is a third syntype.
