HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 599365
, adult male, collected at
Zagayu
(
5
Sagayo),
02.57S
,
33.45E
(
Polhill, 1988
),
Tanzania
, on
2 November 1922
, by
Arthur Loveridge
(no. R.8050).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: AMNH has two Loveridge specimens from Rothschild, a male and a female, collected on the same date and bearing the same number ‘‘R.8050’’. In the original description, Hartert listed the male as the type, thus identifying it as the
holotype
, but he tied the type label on the female. Later,
Hartert (1928: 213)
listed the type as a female, without comment, and it is this specimen that incorrectly bears the Rothschild type label and has been included in the type collection at AMNH. I have added an AMNH type label to the male and included both in the type collection, with label notes to indicate the problem. The female, AMNH 599364, is the
paratype
.
