Now Vidua orientalis aucupum (Neumann, 1908) . See Hartert, 1919a: 146 ; Mayr et al., 1968: 396 ; Dickinson, 2003: 737 ; Fry and Keith, 2004: 423– 424 ; and Payne, 2010: 222 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 452945 , adult male, collected at Diourbel , 14.39N , 16.12W (Times atlas), Senegal , on 8 October (not August) 1907, by F.W. Riggenbach (no. 1638). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann noted that his type was a male, collected at Diourbel by Riggenbach, and in the Rothschild Collection, but he incorrectly transcribed the date as 8 ‘‘viii’’ 07. Riggenbach gave the date as ‘‘8 Octob. 07’’ on his label, however, some of the specimens collected in August are labeled ‘‘Août,’’ which might have led to a misreading on Neumann’s part. Hartert (1919a: 146) called attention to this error. All of the Riggenbach specimens from Diourbel were collected in October 1907 , and this holotype is the only one collected on the 8th. Neumann (1908a) did not list his specimens, but the new subspecies he named were based on the Riggenbach specimens housed in the Rothschild Collection. The following Riggenbach specimens, all collected in Senegal in 1907, are considered paratypes of aucupum : Diourbel , AMNH 452946–452948 , 5–11 October ; Kirkaoua , AMNH 452949 , 29 November ; Thies , AMNH 452950 , 452951 , 6 and 28 December ; Gassam , AMNH 452952 , 7 September ; Ouomin , AMNH 452953 , 452954 , 7 and 17 September ; Ogo , AMNH 452955 , 22 August ; Kael , AMNH 452956 , 452957 , 11 August ; Tieli , AMNH 452958–452964 , 23 August. All of the specimens are in adult male plumage except AMNH 452959 , sexed as a male but in femalelike plumage .
