Now Linurgus olivaceus elgonensis van Someren, 1918 . See Hartert, 1928: 199 ; Howell et al., 1968: 282 ; Fry and Keith, 2004: 531–533 ; ArnaizVillena and Moscoso, 2007: 826–834; and Clement, 2010: 541. LECTOTYPE : AMNH 714358 , adult male, collected on Mount Elgon , ca. 01.08N , 34.33E ( Polhill, 1988 ), Kenya / 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.
