HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 724738
, unsexed
[adult male], collected at Mtoni,
06.52S
,
39.16E
, lower reaches of the Ruvu River (= Kingani River) (
Polhill, 1988
),
Tanzania
, in January (year not recorded), by F. Bohndorff. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartlaub described a single male from Mtoni.
Hartert (1907a: 500)
listed a male and a female from Mtoni, which are now in AMNH, but the female was not mentioned in the original description.
Most type specimens of names introduced by Hartlaub are in UMB;
Sánchez-Osés (2010: 67)
noted that the
type
of
P. holoxanthus
was not found there but he thought that it might be in
ZMB
; Rothschild obtained specimens from many collections, but there is no indication that this one came from ZMB; he probably received it directly from Hartlaub.
