Old World Warblers (Sylviidae)
Lanceolated Warbler (Locustella lanceolata) - HBW 11, p. 613
French: Locustelle lancéolée
German: Strichelschwirl
Spanish: Buscarla Lanceolada
Other common names: Streaked Warbler/Grasshopper-warbler
Taxonomy: Sylvia lanceolata Temminck, 1840, Mainz, Germany, error = Russia.
Studies of mitochondrial DNA indicate that this species forms a group with L. naevia, L. fluviatilis and L. luscinioides; close affinities of these with certain Asian Bradypterus species also suggested. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- lanceolata (Temminck, 1840) - breeds S Finland, Russia (Karelia, and from Perm and W Urals E to lower R Kolyma, S Kamchatka and Sea of Okhotsk, and S to Altai, Amurland and Ussuriland), extreme N Mongolia and NE China (Manchuria); non-breeding NE Indian Subcontinent, SE Asia and N Philippines S to Sumatra and W Java.
