.
Now
:
Speculipastor bicolor
Reichenow, 1879
.
See
Amadon et al. (1962b: 99).
Syntype
(missing):
ZMB 24261
(B 15711, Fischer no. 238), male, collected at Kipini, [
11.07.1878
]
.
Syntype
:
ZMB 24262
(B 15711, Fischer no. 240), skin, former mount, female, collected at Kipini,
11.07.1878
.
Syntype
(missing): Fischer no. 239, female, collected at Kipini, [
11.07.1878
].
Type locality
: “
Kipini (Ost-Africa)” [
Kipini
,
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 specimen
, descriptions for both sexes, and the locality “Kipini (Ost-Africa)” were given.
Fischer & Reichenow (1879)
listed
three specimens
(nos. 238, 239, 240) for this species, and thus all three are
syntypes
. The missing no. 239 was not inventoried in
Berlin
. The other two were mounted in 1879–1880, and ZMB 24261was probably destroyed along with other mounts in World War II.
