Muscicapa ansorgei
Hartert
Muscicapa ansorgei
Hartert, 1910c: 95
(Ombrolema, Ogowé
River
).
Now
Myioparus griseigularis griseigularis
(Jackson, 1906)
. See
Watson et al., 1986b
, and
Urban et al., 1997: 492
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 604177
, adult female, collected at Ombrolema (Ngomo), Ogooué (
5
Ogowe´) River,
Gabon
, on 27 August (not July, as in original description) 1907, by
W.J. Ansorge
(no. 722). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Hartert cited Ansorge’s unique field number for the
holotype
in the original description;
he did not indicate how many specimens he had.
One paratype
is in
AMNH
:
AMNH 604178
, adult male, collected at the same place on the same day by Ansorge (no. 720)
.
Hartert (1920: 489)
corrected the collecting date to that on Ansorge’s label without comment, but cited the collecting locality as Ugowo. This seems to be a different reading of Ansorge’s handwritten label, which I interpret as ‘‘Ngomo’’.
Chapin (1954)
equat- ed Ombrolema with Ombrokua (sic),
00.49S
,
09.58E
,
Gabon
, which is apparently correct, as R. Dowsett (personal commun.) found the same coordinates for Ngomo.
