Calamoherpe juncorum Brehm

Calamoherpe juncorum Brehm, 1831: 1015 (Renthendorf, 1830, and Görlitz).

Now Acrocephalus schoenobaenus (Linnaeus, 1758) . See Hartert, 1918a: 31, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 617–618.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 455499 , adult male, collected at Renthendorf (5 hiesieger Gegend, on label), 50.48N, 11.58E ( USBGN, 1959), Germany, on 3 May 1830. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm mentioned that this form first appeared at Renthendorf in August 1830, but the date on the lectotype is May 1830; also, he mentioned two additional specimens: a young female collected on 12 August, and a young bird collected on 1 September 1830.

Hartert (1918a: 31) considered the above male, labeled juncorum by Brehm, to be the type (5 lectotype). Five specimens were cataloged at AMNH as juncorum , three having been sent on exchange to ZFMK. Two of these, former AMNH 455500 and 455501, were collected in August 1830 at Renthendorf and are paralectotypes if they were labeled juncorum by Brehm. Former AMNH 455503 was collected before the publication date of the description and, if labeled juncorum by Brehm, is probably also a paralectotype. The one additional specimen remaining at AMNH, AMNH 455502, was collected after the date of the description.
