Miliaria valida Brehm

Miliaria valida Brehm, 1841 : cols. 55, 56 (Orlthal, Roda R.).

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

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 456241 , adult male, collected in the Orla Valley (5 Orl[a]thal), Germany, on 10 January 1820. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm mentioned a male specimen collected in a hard winter in ‘‘Orlthal’’; Hartert (1918: 15), by listing the above specimen as the type of Miliaria valida , designated it the lectotype. There are five additional specimens collected before the publication of the name and cataloged as valida at AMNH. One of these, AMNH 456242, a male collected on 20 December 1819 at Renthendorf in the Roda Valley and labeled valida by Brehm, is a paralectotype. Another, AMNH 456244, a juvenile female collected 9 July 1838 at Lübz, is labeled minor by Brehm and is not considered a paralectotype. The other three specimens, AMNH 456243, 456245, and 456246, were exchanged to ZFMK and may be paralectotypes.
