Telophonus senegalus pallidus
Neumann
Telophonus senegalus pallidus
Neumann, 1907a: 375
(Accra). Now
Tchagra senegala senegala
(Linnaeus, 1766)
. See
Fry et al., 2000: 427

LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 663325
, adult male, collected at
Accra
,
05°33′N
,
00°15′W
(Times Atlas),
Ghana
, on
4 November 1897
, by
C.W. Nartey. From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: While
Neumann (1907a: 375)
said that the type was a male from Accra, collected on
4 November 1897
by ‘‘Hartey’’, he listed
three males
collected at Accra, all three of which were collected on
4 November 1897
by Nartey, making them all
three syntypes
. Later,
Hartert’s (1920: 449)
listing of the type as a male collected on that date was not sufficient to designate a
lectotype
. However, the above specimen is the specimen to which the Rothschild type label was attached and which has subsequently been considered the type. The Rothschild Collection label is also marked ‘‘
pallidus Neum.
Typus’’, but the handwriting does not appear to be that of Neumann. Recognizing that this specimen bears the data cited for the type in the original description and the Rothschild type label, I hereby designate AMNH 663325 the
lectotype
, thereby confirming its type status. The
paralectotypes
are AMNH 663326 and 663327.
