Arizelocichla nigriceps percivali
Hartert, 1922c: 50
(Usambara Mts.,
Tanganyika Territory
).
Now
Andropadus tephrolaemus usambarae
(Grote, 1919)
. See
Rand
and Deignan, 1960: 257
, and
Keith et al., 1992: 283
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 566441
, unsexed, collected in the
Usambara Mountains
, 04°25′–
05°12′S
, 38°10′–
38°44′E
(
Chapin, 1954:734
), in
July 1919
, by
A. Blayney Percival. From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
:
Hartert (1922c: 50)
, in his original description, mentioned that the
type
was in the Rothschild Collection, even though he had seen other specimens in the Percival Collection. This is the only Percival specimen of this taxon that came to the AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.
Roy et al. (1998: 61)
suggested, on the basis of mitochondrial DNA studies, that
usambarae
should be considered a subspecies of
Andropadus nigriceps
.
