Now Anthus similis hararensis Neumann, 1906 . See Vaurie et al., 1960: 154 , and Keith et al., 1992: 224 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 571474 , adult male, collected at Gardula , 05°38′N , 37°28′E ( Times Atlas ), west of Lake Chamo (= Gandjule Lake ), Ethiopia , on 13 January 1901 , by Oscar Neumann (no. 587). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : In the original description, Neumann (1905a:77) listed a male collected by himself at Gardula on 13 January 1901 as the type and gave the range of longirostris as ‘‘Vom nördlichen Massai­Land bis nach Schoa und Somali­ Land’’. Later, Neumann (1906: 232) listed his no. 587 as the only specimen he collected at Gardula. It is therefore the holotype . Of the specimens examined ( Neumann, 1906: 232 ), Doherty’s specimens collected at Escarpment, Kikuyu, Kenya , in 1900–1901 came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. They are paratypes : AMNH 571475– 571491. Hartert (1919: 169) erroneously cited the original description of this taxon as Neumann (1906: 232) . Collin and Hartert (1927: 50) proposed Anthus similis neumannianus as a nomen novum for A. nicholsoni longirostris , preoccupied by Anthus obscurus longirostris Brehm (1856b: 342) . Hartert (1905a: 284) at first thought that Anthus obscurus longirostris was a nomen nudum introduced by A.E. Brehm (1866: 7) . That being the case, the name would have been available to Neumann. Later, he discovered the earlier valid description by C.L. Brehm (1856b: 342) , thus necessitating the nomen novum introduced by Collin and Hartert (1927: 50) . Both A. nicholsoni longirostris Neumann and A. similis neumannianus Collin and Hartert are now in the synonymy of Anthus similis hararensis Neumann, 1906 ( Vaurie et al., 1960: 154 ). Neumann (1902) published an account of this expedition, with a map showing his itinerary.
