Tanzania

COMMENTS
: Hartlaub, in the original description, said that he had a single female specimen from Bagamojo, a coastal station (
Hartlaub, 1890: 150
). Later,
Ogilvie-Grant (1913: 634)
considered
Bradyornis muscicapina
to be a synonym of
Bradyornis murinus
. The
type
of
B. muscicapina
had been considered lost, but Rothschild (1913: 65) discovered it in his own collection. He and Ogilvie-Grant then examined the
type
and agreed that it was a specimen of
Muscicapa striata
.
Hartert (1920: 489)
identified it as
Muscicapa striata striata
. The specimen is in poor condition.
