Now Anthus pratensis (Linnaeus, 1758) . See Hartert,

1918b: 24, and Alström and Mild, 2003: 122.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 458209 About AMNH , adult male, died at Renthendorf , 50°48′N, 11°58′E (Gazetteer 43, USGBN), Germany, on 30 October 1825. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: As Hartert (1918b: 24) noted, Brehm wrote on the original label that this was a cage bird (‘‘zahm gestorben’’) and that it is the type of this taxon (‘‘Urexemplar’’). Brehm rarely marked his type specimens.
