Bias musicus pallidiventris
van Someren
Bias musicus pallidiventris
van Someren, 1921: 102
(Canhoca,
Angola
).
Now
Bias musicus musicus
(Vieillot, 1818)
. See
Urban et al., 1997: 551
, and

.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 649708
, adult female, collected at Canhoca,
09.15S
,
14.41E
(
Dean,
2000: 372),
Angola
, on
23 November 1903
, by W.J. Ansorge (no. 1231 (1331)). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description, van Someren cited the number ‘‘1331’’ for the
holotype
. Both numbers ‘‘1231’’ and ‘‘1331’’ appear on Ansorge’s label. The number ‘‘1231’’ is the number given by Ansorge, and I think ‘‘1331’’ may have been added by Hartert because of a typographical error in the published number. The number ‘‘1331’’ also appears on the Rothschild type label. The Rothschild Museum label has ‘‘Type’’ written on the reverse, probably by van Someren.
Six females
were said by van Someren to have been compared. Of the
five female
paratypes
, four are in AMNH: AMNH 649709 (van Someren no. 1179), 649710 (1101), 649711 (1165), and 649712 (1217), all collected at Canhoca in
November 1903
.
Two male
specimens from Canhoca, collected on
29 December 1903
, would also been in van Someren’s hands when the description was published and are here considered
paratypes
: AMNH 649706 (1603) and 649707 (1323).
