COMMENTS: Brehm did not indicate how many specimens he had. This is the only northern African specimen identified as this taxon that came to AMNH. It was designated the lectotype by Hartert (1918b: 23).

Sibley and Monroe (1990: 676) treated richardi as an allospecies in the superspecies Anthus novaeseelandiae , whereas Keith et al. (1992: 218) included richardi in the species A. novaeseelandiae , sensu lato.
