Fischer & Reichenow, 1884a: 56 . Now : Cinnyris venustus falkensteini G.A. Fischer & Reichenow, 1884a . See Greenway et al. (1967: 250) . Holotype : ZMH 6904 [Fischer no. 852], male, skin, former mount, collected at “Naiwascha”, 10.06.[18]83. Type locality : “ Naiwascha-See (Massai)” [ Lake Naivasha , Nakuru County , Kenya ], from the original description as well as locality of the holotype . Remarks : In the original description no type was chosen, and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for one specimen and the locality “Naiwascha-See (Massai)” were given. Fischer (1884) listed only one specimen for this species, and so ZMH 6904 is regarded as the holotype . It was also mentioned as the type in Bolau (1898) . The species name honors the German collector Julius Falkenstein (1842–1917).
