Now : Apalis chariessa chariessa Reichenow, 1879 . See White (1962a: 701) ; Mayr et al. (1986: 160) . Syntype : ZMB 24249 (B 15697, Fischer no. 310), male, skin, collected at Mitole, 13.09.1878 . Syntype : ZMB 24250 (B 15697, Fischer no. 400), female, skin, collected at Mitole, 19.11.1878 . Type locality : Mitole [Mitole, Tana River County , Kenya ], from the original description as well as locality of the syntypes . Remarks : In the original description, no type was chosen and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for more than one individual and the locality “Mitole” were given. Fischer & Reichenow (1879: 354) listed two specimens from Mitole for this species, so both are syntypes . The loss of forest habitat along the lower Tana suggests that this nominate form may now be globally extinct; a specimen was collected in 1961 (https://ebird.org/checklist/S117362807).
