.
Holotype
:
ZMB 24393
(B 15730, Fischer no. 247), skin, former mount, female, collected at Kipini, 19.07.[1878].
Type locality
:
Kipini
[Kipini,
Tana River County
,
Kenya
], from the original description as well as locality of the
holotype
.
Remarks
: In the original description, no type was chosen, and no inventory number was given. Only
one specimen
(female) was mentioned, together with a link to
Francolinus nudicollis
in
Fischer & Reichenow (1879)
.
Fischer & Reichenow (1879)
listed only
one specimen
(no. 247), so ZMB 24393 is regarded as the
holotype
.
