- Alauda nigricans Sundevall, 1850: 99. VERBATIM TYPE LOCALITY: “ Inhabitat regionem fluvii Limpoponis, in Caffraria superiori (Aprevier [sic. = Ap rivier], Febr.) ”. CURRENT STATUS: Pinarocorys nigricans nigricans (Sundevall, 1850); Alaudidae (Dickinson & Christidis 2014: 436). TYPE MATERIAL: In his original description, Sundevall (1850: 99) mentioned that he had several specimens at hand,but only males[“ Specimina nostra,masculina... ”(in plural)]. According to Sundevall’s acquisition catalogue, it seems there were two specimens available. Gyldenstolpe (1926: 22) referred to NRM 659766 [6504] as a “type”, which we treat as a lectotype designation of this adult male collected 11 February 1842 at the Apies River. The paralectotype NRM 537999 [6505] is a mounted male collected 17 February 1842 at the Apies River. VERIFIED TYPE LOCALITY: Apies River, Gauteng. COMMENTS: Date and place agree with the journal entries.
