Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History. Part 7. Passeriformes: Sylviidae, Muscicapidae, Platysteiridae, Maluridae, Acanthizidae, Monarchidae, Rhipiduridae, And Petroicidae Author LeCroy, M. text Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 2008 2008-07-02 313 1 1 287 http://dx.doi.org/10.1206/313.1 journal article 10.1206/313.1 0003-0090 13223808 Calamonastes katangae Neave Calamonastes katangae Neave, 1909: 130 ( Katanga ). Now Calamonastes undosus katangae Neave, 1909 . See Urban et al., 1997: 305 . Syntype : AMNH 598423, adult female, collected on the upper Lualaba River , western Katanga , Congo ( Kinshasa ), on 31 May 1907 , by S.A. Neave (no. 223). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : In the original description, Neave did not designate a type or say how many specimens were collected. In a later paper, Neave (1910a: 149) listed five specimens , all collected on his second (1907) trip to the Congo , giving his field numbers for them but still not indicating a type, and adding ( Neave, 1910a: 81 ): ‘‘The majority of the specimens, including the types, remain in the British Museum’’. However, as no types had been designated, all specimens in the original type series were syntypes . The AMNH specimen is marked ‘‘ Calamonastes katangae cotype’’, initialed by Neave; it had not previously been included in the AMNH type collection. The month of collecting on Neave’s original label appears to be a poorly written ‘‘ May’ ’. This was read as ‘‘ März’ ’ by Hartert and so entered on the Rothschild Collection label. Neave (1910a: 80 , 82, and 1910b: map opp. p. 224) gave the itinerary of his 1907 trip and a map that showed his routes. On 31 March his itinerary gave his location as the Upper Dikulwe River Valley , 3500–4000 ft ; on 31 May he was in the Upper Lualaba Valley , high plateau, 4000 ft , at ca. 11.00S , 25.40E . Sclater (1930: 517) restricted the type locality to the Lufupa River . Warren and Harrison (1971: 279–280) listed a female specimen from the Lufupa River as a syntype , noting that it was labeled ‘‘type’’ and that there was an additional syntype in the collection. The AMNH specimen is a syntype , as is a specimen in RMCA ( Louette et al., 2002: 40 ).
