HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 723598
, adult male, collected at
Gassan
(= Gassam),
14.54N
,
15.16W
(Times
Atlas
),
Senegal
, on
29 August 1907
, by
F.W. Riggenbach. From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann described only the male, gave data for the type in the Rothschild Museum, and gave the range of the form as ‘‘Upper Guinea, from
Senegal
to the Niger’’;
he did not say how many specimens he examined.
The
holotype
has lost its original label, but the data have been written on the
Rothschild
type label.
When
Hartert (1919: 139)
listed this type, he also included
Riggenbach’s
no. 1254, which does not now otherwise appear on the specimen.
Only
one additional male specimen collected by
Riggenbach
or from the cited range came to
AMNH
with the
Rothschild Collection
:
paratype
AMNH 723598
, collected at the type locality on
30 August 1907
