/
Uganda
border, on
16 November 1916
.
From
the
V.G.L. van Someren Collection
via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, van Someren did not designate a type but noted that he had three male and two female specimens.
Van Someren (1922: 156)
later mentioned that the type was in the Rothschild Collection without giving further information; by that time he had acquired an additional male, but only the three cited in the original description were part of his type series.
Hartert (1928: 199)
listed the male collected on
16 November 1916
as the type, thereby designating it the
lectotype
. This specimen, now AMNH 714358, is marked on the original label ‘‘TYPE
Linurus
elgonensis
vS’’ and bears a Rothschild type label. No
paralectotypes
of
elgonensis
came to AMNH.
