NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXV. 1918. 25 



106. Anthus major Brehm = Anilius spinoletta spinoletta. 

 Anthus Tnajo/ Brehm, Naumannia, 1856. p. 341 * (" Selten in strengen Wintern "). 

 Type: S ad., 25. i. 1839, Rodatal, C. L. Brehm leg. 



107. Anthus orientalis Brehm = Anthus spinoletta covtellii. 



Anthus orientalis Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 138. 1855— Asia. C£. Vog. pal. Fauna, p. 281). 



Type : 9 ad., Kenneh in Egypt, 5. ii. 1852. E. A. Brehm leg. 

 [Anthus Uttoralis Brehm = Anthus spinoletta littoralis. 



Anthus littoralis Brehm, Lehrb. Naturg. cur. Vog. i. p. 239 (1823—" Nur 2 .3 Anf. Okt. 1822 an der 

 Oslsee von Schilling gesammelt "). 



The type of this form is not in the collection, no specimen dating from 

 October 1822. The above description is the first. Between it and the one of 

 3 831, which has hitherto been quoted as the first, is one of Isis, 1828. p. 55.] 



108. Budytes chlorocephalus Brehm = Motacilla flava flava. 



Budytes chlorocephalus Brehm, Naumannia, 1851. 2. p. 24 (Renthendorf). 



Type: <? (with paired §), Renthendorf, 23. iv. 1832. C. L. Brehm leg. 



There is now only this pair in the collection named chlorocephalus. The 

 male is a very interesting bird, the centre of the crown being green, thus closely 

 resembling old males of 31. flava. rayi. It is, as the date shows, of course not 

 an autumn bird, as I erroneously said in Vog. pal. Fauna, p. 287. 



*109. Budytes pygmaeus A. E. Brehm = Motacilla flava pygmaea. 

 Budytes pygnmeus A. E. Biehm, Journ. f. Orn. 1854. p. 74 (" Nordost-Afrika "). 



Type : S ad.. Lower Egypt, January 1850. Oskar Brehm leg. 



This small, white-throated form is an excellent subspecies, which breeds 

 in Egypt. Having examined only the type specimen, I imagined that it was 

 an aberrant example, but Ticehurst and Nicoll have shown that it nests in 

 Egypt. Cf. Vog. pal. Fauna, i. p. xxix. note 3. 



110. Budytes fasciatus Brehm = Motacilla flava flava. 



Budytes fascialus Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 141 (1855— " Galizien und Ungarn ") ; lj\itsee Naumannia, 

 i. 1851. 4. p. 19! 



The type would be an adult 3 GaUcia, 5. v. 1852, collected by Count 

 Wodzicki, but the name appeared already in Naumannia, i. 1851. 4. p. 19, where 

 H. Zander called a male from South France " B. jasciatus Brehm." 



111. Budytes megarhjmchos Brehm = Motacilla flava cinereocapilkt. 



Budijtes megarhynchus Brehm, Isis, 1842. p. 578 (" Dalmatien "). 



Type: $ ad. (with paired $), Dalmatia, 4. vii. 1830. 



Though these specimens were first labelled Budytes cinereocapillus longirostris, 

 and then altered aMcollis, they are clearly the types of megarhynchos 1842. 



* In Vog. pal. Fauna, p. 280, I quoted A. major as a nomen nudum of A. E. Brehm, but in 

 1856, I.e., it is described. To the synonyms on p. 280 must be added : 



Anthus rivalis Brehm, Naumannia, 1856. p. 342 (Erdmannsdorfer Wiesen near Kentheudorf 

 and South France). The only specimen marked rivalis is one from Triest.
