Now Amblyospiza albifrons melanota (Heuglin, 1863) . See Neumann, 1905: 342–343 ; Hartert, 1919: 137 ; Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 31 ; Dickinson, 2003: 719 ; Fry and Keith, 2004: 198– 201 ; Ash and Atkins, 2009: 336 ; and Craig, 2010: 138–139 . LECTOTYPE : AMNH 725370 , adult male, collected at Uaja , Malo Region , Ethiopia , on 13 February 1901 , by Oscar Neumann (no. 795). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann listed his two specimens but did not designate a type. Later, Neumann (1905: 342) listed the male bearing his number 795 as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype of aethiopica . The paratype is AMNH 725371 , female (not male, as in Neumann, 1905: 342 ), Anderatscha, Kaffa, Ethiopia , 17 March 1901 , O. Neumann (no. 1019). I did not find the locality ‘‘Uaja’’; howev- er, in his itinerary, Neumann (1904c: 323) , noted that he was at Banka, 06.33N , 36.38E ( Ash and Atkins, 2009: 403 ), on 14 February 1901 . Neumann (1902b) wrote an account of his travels, with a map showing his itinerary, but it did not include all of his localities.
