Now Amblyospiza albifrons montana van Someren, 1921 . See Hartert, 1928: 193 ; Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 31 ; Zimmerman et al., 1999: 533 ; Dickinson, 2003: 719 ; Fry and Keith, 2004: 198–201 ; and Craig, 2010: 138–139 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 725323 , adult male, collected at Saba Saba , 00.47S , 36.55E– 00.49S , 37.18E ( Polhill, 1988 ), near Fort Hall , Kikuyu Mountains , Kenya , on 25 April 1918 . From the V.G.L. van Someren Collection via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, van Someren designated a specimen in the Rothschild Collection bearing the above data as the holotype of montana . He gave the range as Kikuyu , Nairobi , Kisumu , etc., but did not enumerate his paratypes . I have considered as paratypes only the two additional specimens of montana in AMNH that had been part of the V.G.L. van Someren Collection : AMNH 725335 , female, Nairobi, 13 December 1917 ; AMNH 725345 , unsexed [s], Kisumu , 9 July 1912 . There are two paratypes in RMCA ( Louette et al., 2002: 75 ) .
