Calendulauda
''Calendulauda'' is a genus of lark in the family Alaudidae. Established by Edward Blyth in 1855, it contains eight species. Taxonomy and systematics The genus ''Calendulauda'' was introduced by the English zoologist Edward Blyth in 1855 with the Karoo lark as the type species. The name ''Calendulauda'' is a combination of the names of two other lark genera: ''Calendula'' and ''Alauda''. All of the species in this genus were formerly assigned to the genus ''Mirafra ''Mirafra'' is a genus of lark in the family Alaudidae.

Sabota Lark
The sabota lark (''Calendulauda sabota'') is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae. It is found in southern Africa in its natural habitats of dry savannah, moist savannah, and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. Taxonomy and systematics Formerly, the Sabota lark was classified as belonging to the genus ''Mirafra'' until moved to ''Calendulauda'' in 2009. Not all authorities have followed this re-classification. Two distinctive taxa of this species are respectively known as the large-billed Sabota lark and small-billed Sabota lark. The large-billed subspecies are found in the dry to arid west and south of its range, while the small-billed subspecies are native to mesic woodlands of the north and east. Subspecies Nine subspecies are recognized: * Congo Sabota lark ''C. s. plebeja'' (Cabanis, 1875) — Originally described as a separate species in the genus '' Alauda''. Found on the Cabinda coast of north-western Angola * Benguella Sabota lark ''C. s. ansorgei'' ( Sclat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Barlow's Lark
Barlow's lark (''Calendulauda barlowi'') is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae. It is found in Namibia and South Africa where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. It is threatened by habitat loss. Taxonomy and systematics Originally, Barlow's lark was classified as belonging to the genus '' Pseudammomanes'', then later by ''Mirafra'' and ''Certhilauda'', until moved to Calendulauda in 2009. Formerly, some authorities considered Barlow's lark as a subspecies of either the Karoo lark (as ''Certhilauda albescens barlowi'') or the dune lark (as ''Certhilauda erythrochlamys barlowi''). Not all authorities recognize each of these re-classifications. The common name and scientific name commemorate the South African businessman and conservationist Charles Sydney Barlow. Subspecies Three subspecies are recognized: * ''Calendulauda barlowi barlowi'' ( Roberts, 1937): Found from the Koichab River to Aus (south-western Namibia) * ''Calendulauda barlowi p ...

Mirafra
''Mirafra'' is a genus of lark in the family Alaudidae. Some ''Mirafra'' species are called "larks", while others are called "bush larks". They are found from Africa through South Asia to Australia. Taxonomy and systematics The phylogeny of larks (Alaudidae) was reviewed by Alström et al. (2013) who found that the following species form a well supported monophyletic group, which is the sister lineage to Heteromirafra. Extant species The genus contains twenty-four species: Former species Some authorities, either presently or formerly, recognize several additional species as belonging to the genus ''Mirafra'', including: * Short-clawed lark (as ''Mirafra chuana'') * Dusky lark (as ''Mirafra nigricans'') * Rufous-rumped lark (as ''Mirafra erythropygia'' or ''Mirafra nigricans erythropygia'') * Indian desert finch-lark (as ''Mirafra phoenicuroides'') * Rufous-tailed lark (as ''Mirafra phoenicura'') * Madagascan lark (as ''Mirafra hova'') * Sabota lark (as ''Mirafra sabota'') * ...

Lark
Larks are passerine birds of the family Alaudidae. Larks have a cosmopolitan distribution with the largest number of species occurring in Africa. Only a single species, the horned lark, occurs in North America, and only Horsfield's bush lark occurs in Australia. Habitats vary widely, but many species live in dry regions. When the word "lark" is used without specification, it often refers to the Eurasian skylark ''(Alauda arvensis)''. Taxonomy and systematics The family Alaudidae was introduced in 1825 by the Irish zoologist Nicholas Aylward Vigors as a subfamily Alaudina of the finch family Fringillidae. Larks are a well-defined family, partly because of the shape of their . They have multiple scutes on the hind side of their tarsi, rather than the single plate found in most songbirds. They also lack a pessulus, the bony central structure in the syrinx of songbirds. They were long placed at or near the beginning of the songbirds or oscines (now often called Passeri), just afte ...

Dune Lark
The dune lark (''Calendulauda erythrochlamys'') is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae. It is endemic to Namibia where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland.
