COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann designated as type a female collected at Abuye on
3 October 1900
; however, his
two specimens
of
schoana
both bore the same data and he did not cite his field number.
Neumann (1906: 242)
later listed both of his specimens with their field numbers but did not indicate there which one was his type.
Hartert (1920: 433)
, by citing Neumann’s specimen no. 134 as the type, thereby designated it the
lectotype
. It bears the original field label marked ‘‘Typus’’ by Neumann and Rothschild Collection and type labels. The
paralectotype
is
AMNH 699423
(Neumann no. 135), female, collected at Abuye on
3 October 1900
.
