Now : Agapornis fischeri Reichenow, 1887 . See Reichenow (1902a , 23); Peters (1937: 255) . Syntype : ZMB 28179 (B 20117, Fischer no. 63), skin, female, collected near Ussure, 11.10.[1885] . Syntype : AMNH SKIN 622323 (Fischer no. 69), skin, female, collected near Ussure, [ 18.10.1885 ] . Syntype : AMNH SKIN 622324 (Fischer no. 1537), skin, female, collected near Ussure, [ 18.10.1885 ] . Type locality : “ bei Ussure” [near Ussure , Singida Region , Tanzania ], from the original description and locality of all syntypes . Remarks : In the original description no type was chosen, nor were inventory numbers for specimens given, but it was stated that three females collected near Ussure belong to the type series. Thus, all three are regarded as syntypes , only one of which is at the ZMB, the other two specimens being at the AMNH. AMNH SKIN 622324 has a wrong collector’s number (Fischer nos. 66, 67, 68, 70 or 71 are possible field numbers). These specimens were not mentioned as types in Greenway (1978) .
