Now Cisticola marginatus marginatus (Heuglin, 1869) . See Hartert, 1920: 466 , Lynes, 1930: 380– 381 , 389–390, 620, Urban et al., 1997: 173–174 , and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 449–450 . LECTOTYPE : AMNH 593734 , adult male, collected at Diek, 07.47N , 33.03E ( R. Dowsett , personal commun.), Akobo River , Sudan , on 28 May 1901 , by Oscar Neumann (no. 1255). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : In the original description, Neumann designated as type a male collected at Diek on the Akobo River on 28 May 1901 . Both specimens that he collected at that locality have the same data. Neumann (1906a: 270) listed his number 1255 as the type, thus designating it the lectotype . The second specimen, and the only other one from Sudan that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, is a paralectotype : AMNH 593735 (Neumann no. 1254). Neumann (1906a: 270) listed a third specimen collected at Tädo am Akobo on 23 May 1901 (Neumann no. 1241), and that specimen would also be a paralectotype . Neumann’s field number was incorrectly copied onto the Rothschild type label as ‘‘1253’’; his number ‘‘1255’’ as cited above is the correct number.
