HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 724347
, female, collected on the
Omo River
between Malo and Koscha
, southern
Ethiopia
, on
18 February 1901
, by
Oscar Neumann
(no. 851).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Neumann’s description was based on the single female specimen collected between Malo,
06.33N
,
36.37E
(
Ash and Atkins, 2009: 416
) and Koscha,
06.45N
,
36.35E
(
Ash and Atkins, 2009: 415
). The area is shown on the map in
Neumann (1902b)
; Koscha is there spelled Kucha.
The generic affiliations of
superciliosus
are not settled.
Moreau and Greenway (1962: 52)
,
Dickinson (2003: 722)
, and
Ash and Atkins (2009: 341)
place it in
Ploceus
;
Fry and Keith (2004: 196)
and
Craig (2010: 158)
retain it in
Pachyphantes
, the last commenting that recent DNA studies indicate that it may be closest to the genus
Amblyospiza
.
