Fischer, 1884 (in Fischer & Reichenow 1884b ): 180. Now : Ploceus baglafecht reichenowi (G.A. Fischer, 1884) . See Amadon et al. (1962: 35) . Syntype : ZMB 27392 (B 18644, Fischer no. 763), skin, former mount, female, collected at Sigirari, 02.04.[18]83 . Syntype : ZMB 27393 (B 18644, Fischer no. 932), skin, former mount, male, collected at “Gross Aruscha”, 15.07.[18]83 . Syntype : ZMH 8377 (Fischer no. 840), skin, former mount, male, juvenile, collected at “Naiwascha”, [08.06.]1883 . Type locality : “Gross-Aruscha” [Arusha, Arusha Region, Tanzania ] and “Naiwascha-See” [Lake Naivasha, Nakuru County , Kenya ], from the original description, but “Gross-Aruscha” [Arusha, Arusha Region, Tanzania ], Sigirari [Sigirari, Arusha Region, Tanzania ] and “Naiwascha-See” [Lake Naivasha, Nakuru County , Kenya ] as localities of the three syntypes . Remarks : In the original description no type was chosen, and no inventory numbers for specimens were provided, but measurements for one specimen , descriptions for both sexes, and the localities “Gross-Aruscha” and “Naiwascha-See” were given. Fischer (1884) listed three specimens for this species (nos. 932, 840, 763). All mentioned specimens are regarded as syntypes ; ZMB 27392 with the vague locality Sigirari (not mentioned in the original description) is the only female, and a female is described in the original description. ZMH 8377 was mentioned as type specimen in Bolau (1898) , but with an incorrect catalogue number (6377).
