HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 451855
, adult male, collected on
Mount Sabinyo
(5
Sabjingo
),
2700m
,
01.22S
,
29.36E
(
Times
atlas), on the border of
Uganda
/Congo (
Kinshasa
)/
Rwanda
, on
1 September 1907
, by
Rudolf Grauer
(no. 1136).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Neumann designated as type the only specimen in the Rothschild Collection collected by Grauer on Mount ‘‘Sabjingo.’’ He gave the range as the western
Kivu
Volcanoes, and three additional specimens may be considered
paratypes
:
AMNH 451856–451858
, two males and one unsexed, collected west of Vulcane, on
2 October 1907
, by Grauer. I did not find AMNH
451858 in
the collection.
Since
Prigogine’s (1980: 370–372)
study,
graueri
has been considered a synonym of
kandti
, with
kandti
either a subspecies of
E. atricapilla
(
Dickinson, 2003: 731
)
or a separate species
E. kandti
(
Fry and Keith, 2004
, 308–309;
Payne, 2010: 321
).
