Zinder
,

(

), southern
Niger
(=
French
West Africa
, as on label), on
19 February 1920
, by Angus Buchanan. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated as the
type
of
buchanani
the specimen bearing Buchanan’s field number 414. The Rothschild Collection held a single specimen when Hartert named
buchanani
, but he noted: ‘‘There are in the British Museum two females collected at Yo and Kuka, near Lake
Chad
, which must belong to this new subspecies.’’
Most recent authors consider
dentata
monotypic, but
Summers-Smith (2009: 810)
recognized
buchanani
.
