Calamoherpe tenuirostris Brehm

Calamoherpe tenuirostris Brehm, 1831: 440 (bei Kahla an der Salle).

Now Locustella naevia naevia (Boddaert, 1783) . See Hartert, 1918a: 30, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 613.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 455266 , immature male, captured at Kahla , 50.48N, 11.35E (Times Atlas), Germany, died in captivity 15 February 1827. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm gave a wide range for this form but mentioned only a single specimen, ‘‘ein Männchen wurde im September 1826 bei Kahla an der Saale gefangen’’. A second specimen at AMNH identified in Brehm’s hand as tenuirostris was collected long after the description was published. Should anoth- er specimen be found, then Hartert (1918a: 30), by listing the above specimen as the type, designated it the lectotype.
