.
See
White

Mayr et al. (1986: 75)
.
Holotype
:
ZMB 27398
(B 18651, Fischer no. 841), male, skin, former mount, collected at Murentat, 08.06.[18]83].
Type locality
:
“
Murentat (Naiwascha-See)” [
Morendat
,
Nakuru County
,
Kenya
], from the original description as well as locality of the
holotype
.
Remarks
: In the original description, no type was chosen and no inventory numbers for specimens were provided, but measurements for
one specimen
and the locality “Murentát (Naiwascha-See)” were given. Fischer (1884) listed
one specimen
(collector’s number 841) for this species with the same data as in the description, so is regarded as the
holotype
for this species.
Fischer & Reichenow (1884c)
and Fischer (1884) gave the collecting date for no. 841 as 07.06., but the label indicates 08.06.83. The
holotype
was collected in papyrus where the Morendat (now Malewa) River enters
Lake
Naivasha at
0°42’S
,
36°25’E
on 07 or
08 June 1883
