Miliaria crassirostris Brehm

Miliaria crassirostris Brehm, 1841 : cols. 56, 57 (Mecklenburg).

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

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 456256 , adult male, collected at Lübz , 53.28N, 12.03E (Times Atlas), Mecklenburg, Germany, on 5 May 1831, by H. Zander. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm mentioned five specimens of crassirostris in his collection. The first was a male sent him by H. Zander from Mecklenburg, 5 May 1831, and is the specimen Hartert (1918: 15) listed as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. It was labeled crassirostris by Brehm. Four additional Brehm specimens cataloged as crassirostris came to AMNH and were exchanged to ZFMK; they may be paralectotypes.
