Fischer & Reichenow, 1884b: 179 . Now : Poicephalus gulielmi massaicus (G.A. Fischer & Reichenow, 1884b ) . See Reichenow (1902a: 10) : Peters (1937: 226) . Syntype : ZMB 27027 (B 18673, Fischer no. 949), skin, male, collected at “Aruscha, Maeru-Berg”, 16.7.[18]83 . Syntype : ZMH 8312 (Fischer no. 920), skin, former mount, male, collected at “Gross Aruscha, Maeru-Berg”, 13.7.[18]83 . Type locality : “ Gross-Aruscha am Märuberg” [ Mt Meru , Arusha Region , Tanzania ], from the original description and localities of the syntypes . Remarks : In the original description, no type was chosen, nor were inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for one and the locality “Gross-Aruscha am Märuberg” were given. In Fischer (1884) two specimens were listed (Fischer nos. 949, 920). The measurements given belong to no. 949, but as the locality and date of both match the description, Fischer regarded both as belonging to the newly described species (Fischer 1884). Furthermore, Poecephalus massaicus was written on the original collector’s label of ZMH 8312. Therefore, both specimens are regarded as syntypes . ZMH 8312 was not mentioned as type of this species in Bolau (1898) .
