Miliaria altirostris Brehm

Miliaria altirostris Brehm, 1841 : cols. 56, 57 (Dresden, Lübs in Mecklenburg, Rügen, Alsdorf).

Now Emberiza calandra calandra Linnaeus, 1758 . See Hartert, 1918: 15, and Dickinson, 2003: 777.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 456262 , adult male, collected at Dresden , 51.03N, 13.45E (Times Atlas), Germany, on 26 June 1835. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm mentioned five specimens. The first, a male, collected on 26 June 1835 at Dresden, is the specimen that Hartert (1918: 15) listed as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. It was labeled altirostris by Brehm. Three additional Brehm specimens were cataloged as altirostris at AMNH and were exchanged to ZFMK; they may be paralectotypes if they are labeled altirostris by Brehm.
