Alauda ( Melanocorypha) macroptera A.E. Brehm, 1854: 77 (NordOstAfrika).

Now Calandrella brachydactyla brachydactyla (Leisler, 1814) View in CoL . See Hartert, 1918b: 18, and Cramp, 1988: 123.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 457674 About AMNH , adult female, collected at Idfu , 24°58′N, 32°50′E (Times Atlas), Egypt, on 19 March 1850, by A.E. Brehm. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Hartert (1918b: 18) designated this specimen the lectotype. AMNH 457675, an adult female, collected at Khartoum, Sudan, on 8 March 1851, is a paralectotype. AMNH 457673, labeled macroptera by C.L. Brehm, a male, collected in early May 1845 in ‘‘Attica’’, is not a paralectotype, as A.E. Brehm’s original description was based on specimens he collected in 1850–1852 in Africa.
