Curruca assimilis Brehm

Curruca assimilis Brehm, 1855: 228 (Kommt aus Südosteuropa bis nach Sennaar).

Now Sylvia curruca curruca (Linnaeus, 1758) View in CoL . See Hartert, 1918a: 32, and Shirihai et al., 2001: 121, 132–136.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 455625 About AMNH , adult female, collected at Sennar on the Blue Nile (5 ‘‘blauen Fluss’’), Sudan, in December 1850, by A.E. Brehm. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert (1918a: 32) listed this specimen from the Blue Nile as the type of assimilis , thereby designating it the lectotype. Both Brehm, in the original description, and Hartert (1918a: 32) called attention to the unusual white marking on the outer rectrix of the lectotype. Three additional specimens were labeled assimilis by Brehm: paralectotypes AMNH 455619, female, collected at Edfu, Upper Egypt, 20 March 1850; AMNH 455621, female, from the Blue Nile, collected in December 1850; and AMNH 455622, male, collected at Sakle in Nubia, 22 September 1851.

According to R. Dowsett (personal commun.), the ‘‘Sennar’’ of the lectotype would have been Old Sennar, 13.40N, 33.33E.
