Alauda arvensis hainana Hartert, 1922a: 21 (KiungChau, Hainan).
Now Alauda gulgula sala Swinhoe, 1870 View in CoL . See Peters, 1960a: 70, Cheng, 1987: 427, and Dickinson et al., 2001a: 93.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 555556 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Ch’iungchou, 19°56′N, 110°30′E (Times Atlas), Hainan Island , China, on 24 February 1902, by Zensaku Katsumata. From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: Hartert (1922a: 21) noted that he had 12 specimens of this form and that the type was a male collected at KiungChau, Hainan, on 24 XI [sic] 1902 by Katsumata. There are 12 specimens collected by Katsumata on Hainan in February and March 1902 now in AMNH, although three of them are from Haihow, not Ch’iungChau. Hartert (1928: 201) designated as lectotype a male from ‘‘Kiangchau’’ collected on 24 February 1902, correctly citing the collecting date. There are three males collected on this date, but AMNH 555556 is the specimen bearing the Rothschild type label. The Rothschild Collection label is also marked ‘‘type hainana’’ in Hartert’s hand. As this specimen is undoubtedly the one intended by Hartert as the type and has always been so considered, I hereby designate this specimen the lectotype in order to eliminate the ambiguity. Given that the month of collection was a misprint in the original description, the three specimens collected on 24 February 1902 would have to be considered syntypes. After lectotypification, the two remaining syntypes become paralectotypes: AMNH 555557–555558.
