Remarks
: In the original description BMNH 1895.5.1.1328 was chosen as the type specimen and is therefore the
holotype
. The specimen, which belonged to the private collection of Captain Shelley before being incorporated into the BMNH collection (
Warren & Harrison 1971: 525
), is identified from its collection data. The collector’s number was added following
Fischer & Reichenow (1878b)
where the specimen was listed under the name
Crateropus kirkii
(Sharpe, RB)
.
