Fischer & Reichenow, 1884a: 52 . Now : Tauraco hartlaubi (G.A. Fischer & Reichenow, 1884) . See Reichenow (1902a: 42) ; Peters (1940: 7) . Syntype : ZMB 27399 (B 18666, Fischer no. 958), skin, former mount, female, collected at “Aruscha”, [ 18.7.1883 ] . Syntype : ZMH 6875 (Fischer no. 959), skin, former mount, female, collected at “Gross Aruscha”, 18.7.[18]83 . Syntype (missing): Fischer no. 939, male, collected at “Gross Aruscha”, [ 15.7.1883 ]. Type locality : “Am Fusse des Maeru -Berg (Massai)” (at the foot of Mount Maeru (Massai)), from the original description (see Peters 1940: 7 ). We ascertain the type locality as Arusha [Arusha, Arusha Region, Tanzania], the locality of the syntypes . Remarks : In the original description, no type was chosen nor were inventory numbers for specimens given, but measurements for one specimen and the locality “am Fusse des Maeru-Berg (Massai)” were mentioned. The measurements given agree with specimen no. 959 (Fischer 1884). As all the above-listed specimens were collected at the same time, fit the locus typicus and were identified as that species in Fischer (1884), they are regarded as syntypes . ZMB 27399 was inventoried in Mar 1884 with the note “ex originale”. ZMH 6875 was also mentioned as type for this species in Bolau (1898) . The whereabouts of specimen no. 939 are unknown. This species’ name honors the German ornithologist Gustav Hartlaub (1814–1900).
