Cynchramus canneti Brehm

Cynchramus canneti Brehm, 1855: 115 (Dalmatien) .

Now Emberiza schoeniclus intermedia Degland, 1849 . See Hartert, 1918: 16, Paynter, 1970b: 35, and Dickinson, 2003: 780.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 456231 , female (‘‘hahnfedrig’’), collected in Dalmatia , Croatia, on 8 July 1829, perhaps by Michahelles ( Hartert, 1918: 16). From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm referred to Michahelles’ manuscript name, Emberiza intermedia , not realizing that Degland had already formally introduced Michahelles’ name in 1849. Hartert (1918: 16) listed the female collected on 8 July 1829 as the type of canneti , thereby designating it the lectotype. Brehm made no mention of the number of specimens he had, but a second specimen from Dalmatia is in AMNH and is labeled canneti by Brehm. It is a paralectotype: AMNH 456195, juvenile male, collected in Dalmatia on 30 June 1830. Five additional specimens from other localities, cataloged as canneti , were exchanged to ZFMK; but none was cataloged as from Dalmatia.
