Poeocephalus simplex
Reichenow, 1887: 55
.
Now
:
Poicephalus rufiventris rufiventris
(
Rüppell, 1842
)
.
See
Reichenow (1902a: 15)
: but see also
Peters (1937: 228)
.
Holotype
: ZMB 50.188 (Fischer no. 20), skin, female, collected near “Serian”, 10.9.[1885].
Type locality
: “
bei Serian” [near
Serya
,
Kondoa District
,
Dodoma Region
,
Tanzania
], from the original description and locality of the
holotype
.
Remarks
: In the original description, no type was chosen, nor were inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for
one specimen
, the locality “Serian”, and the date were given. As ZMB 50.188 is the only specimen of that species with these collecting data, it is regarded as the
holotype
.
Reichenow (1887)
suspected that this species was probably the female of
P. rufiventris
.
