Cinnyris afra graueri
Neumann, 1908: 55
(Western
Kivu
Volcanoes).
Now
Cinnyris stuhlmanni graueri
Neumann, 1908
.
See
Fry et al., 2000: 244–245, and
Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 277
.
LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 701795
, adult male, collected in
Vorberge
d[er] westl[ichen] [
Kivu
]
Vulkane
,
2400 m
,
Congo
(
Kinshasa
), on
21 August 1907
, by
Rudolf Grauer
(no. 1040).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENT: In the original description, Neumann noted that his type was a male from the western
Kivu
volcanoes, collected on
21 August 1907
at
2400 m
. However, there were
two specimens
with those data, and
Hartert (1920a: 425)
listed Grauer’s specimen no. 1040 as the type, thereby designating it the
lectotype
. The specimen bears, in addition to Grauer’s field label, Rothschild Collection and type labels. Neumann did not mention how many specimens he examined, but, because he worked in the Rothschild Collection, Grauer specimens collected in 1907 on the western
Kivu
volcanoes and at Karisimbi are also
paralectotypes
:
AMNH 701796–701805
,
nine males
and
one female
.
