The Benguela long-billed lark (Certhilauda benguelensis), also known as the Benguela lark or Benguela longbill is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae. It is found in south-western Africa. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland.
Taxonomy and systematics
The Benguela long-billed lark was originally placed in the genus Alaemon.[1] Confusingly, the terms Damara longbill and Damaraland long-billed lark are used for both the Karoo long-billed lark and a subspecies of the Benguela long-billed lark.[2][3] Clements lumps this bird with the Karoo long-billed lark.
Subspecies
Two subspecies are recognized:[4]
- C. b. benguelensis - (Sharpe, 1904): Found in south-western Angola and north-western Namibia
- Damara longbill or Damaraland long-billed lark (C. b. kaokoensis) - Bradfield, 1944: Found in north-western and west-central Namibia
