Comment: Lorenz just mentioned: “
Matschie […] teilt überdies in einem Briefe mit, dass er die schwarzen Mangaben von Mawambi auch noch unter dem Namen
C. albigena
mawambicus abgetrennt habe
.” [Matschie […] also states in a letter that he has also separated the black mangabeys from Mawambi under the name
C. albigena
mawambicus]. However, a valid species description has not been published, therefore the name
mawambicus
is not available. The mention without comment in Allen (1939) and Wilson & Reeder (1993) does not reveal that it is a
nomen nudum
.
