Luscinia eximia Brehm

Luscinia eximia Brehm, 1855: 144 ( Ungarn) . Now Luscinia luscinia (Linnaeus, 1758) View in CoL . See Har­

tert, 1918a: 34, and Cramp, 1988: 616.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 454819 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Budapest (5 Pesth, on label), 478309N, 198039E (Times Atlas), Hungary, on 13 September 1838. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: This specimen bears the name Luscinia eximia in Brehm’s hand, the Rothschild Collection label bears the correct data, and Hartert (1918a: 34), in designating it the lectotype, correctly gave the data. However, the Rothschild type labels for this specimen and for the type of Luscinia hybrida , below, were reversed, so a corrected AMNH type label has been added. AMNH 454823, adult male from Budapest (5 Pesth), collected in May 1838, and labeled eximia by Brehm is the only paralectotype in AMNH. This had been mistakenly cataloged at AMNH as pomarina. A third specimen, AMNH 454820, incorrectly cataloged as eximia , is from ‘‘Pommern’’, is labeled as pomarina by Brehm, and is not a paralectotype of eximia .

Ripley (1964: 40) included luscinia in the genus Erithacus . Sibley and Monroe (1990: 532) treated the genus Luscinia in the tribe Saxicolini , subfamily Muscicapinae ; Dickinson (2003: 675) placed it in the subfamily Saxicolinae , family Muscicapidae . Molecular studies of Luscinia luscinia are reported by Wink et al. (2002a, 2002b).
