Cisticola ansorgei
Neumann
Cisticola ansorgei
Neumann, 1906b: 114
(Caconda)
.
Now
Cisticola rufilatus ansorgei
Neumann, 1906
. See
Lynes, 1930: 238–240
,
Urban et al., 1997: 168
, and
Dean, 2000: 227
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 593189
, adult male, collected at
Caconda
,
13.43S
,
15.05E
(
Dean, 2000: 371
),
Angola
, on 7 (not 2)
September 1904
, by
W.J. Ansorge
(no. 893).
From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description, Neumann gave the collecting date of the type as 2 September, but
Hartert (1920: 466)
has already called attention to this error;
it is the only
Caconda
male collected in
September 1904
, is marked ‘‘
Typus’
’ by
Neumann
, and bears a
Rothschild
type label.
Neumann (1906b: 114)
examined a series of
18 specimens
(including the
holotype
).
The
17 paratypes
are
AMNH 593190–593206
;
I did not
find AMNH
593205 in
the collection.
The
range was given as
Benguela
;
two specimens
collected in
July
1906
in
Mossamedes
by
Ansorge
are not considered
paratypes
.
