Now Mirafra africana malbranti Chapin, 1946 . See Keith et al., 1992: 23 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 308622 , adult male, collected 30 km south of Djambala , 02°32′S , 14°43′E (Times Atlas), Congo (Brazzaville) , on 29 September 1942 , by Dr. René Malbrant. COMMENTS : Chapin cited the AMNH number in the original description and mentioned that he had three specimens of this form, in addition to the holotype . Two were collected by Malbrant : AMNH 308621 , with the same data as the holotype, was cataloged (but I did not find it), and AMNH 308623 , a male collected at Ossélé on 26 September 1942 . Chapin also had on loan a specimen collected by Lynes at Kilembe ; this specimen is RMCA no. 28137 ( Louette et al., 2002: 27 ). These three specimens are paratypes .
