(Alaudidae; † Karoo Lark C. albescens) Portmanteau of genera Calendula Swainson, 1837, lark, and Alauda, Linnaeus, 1758, lark; "Mr. G. R. Gray assigns to MEGALOPHONUS certain true Larks (possessing the nareal tuft) of S. Africa, which Dr. A. Smith classed as ALAUDÆ; but these constitute a peculiar form, CALENDULAUDA, nobis; ex. ALAUDA ALBESCENS, Lafr. (v. A. codea, A. Smith),— A. LAGEPA, A. Smith, &c." (Blyth 1855); "Calendulauda Blyth, Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, xxiv, p. 258, 1855.  Type by original designation, Alauda albescens Lafr. = Certhilauda nivosa Swains." (W. Sclater, 1930, Syst. Av.
