COMMENTS
: In the original description, Hartert did not say how many specimens he had but only gave a single set of measurements.
Hartert (1920: 489)
said: ‘‘Besides the
type
from Toru we have now 16 skins, all collected by Grauer …’’. Thus, he had only the single specimen when he named this form. He did not give Ansorge’s unique field number in the original description but did list it in
Hartert (1920: 489)
. This specimen was collected on Ansorge’s third African expedition (
Hartert, 1900b: 25
).
