(Nguru)
.
Now
Acrocephalus griseldis
(
Hartlaub, 1891
)

Urban et al., 1997: 116
, and
Leisler et al., 1997: 485
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 594411
, unsexed adult, collected at Nguru, no date, by Emin Pasha. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description, Hartlaub noted that he had a single specimen. AMNH 594411 is the only specimen of this form, collected before the publication of the name, that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. It no longer bears the original Emin Pasha label. One Rothschild Museum label is marked ‘‘Emin Pasha coll. received
1893 in
Mus
. W. Rothschild,
Type
,
Calamoherpe griseldis Hartl., Nguru.
’’ A note on the second Rothschild Museum label, in a hand unknown, reads ‘‘nach Sharpe
5
Phyllostrophus sharpei Shelley und eine
Calamocichla
!’’. The reference is to
Sharpe (1903: 206)
.
Chapin (1954: 713)
gave the coordinates of the Nguru Mountains,
Tanzania
, as
05.50S
–
06.15S
,
37.32E
–
37.44E
.
Hartlaub (1891: 2)
noted that ‘‘In dem Distrikte Nguru, deutsches Ostafrika, ist es eine ‘Monda’ (?) benannte Station, wo viel erbeutet wurde’’. This is probably Mhonda,
06.07S
,
37.36E
