Anthoscopus caroli winterbottomi C.M.N. White

Anthoscopus caroli winterbottomi C.M.N. White, 1946: 101 (Mwinilunga) .

Now Anthoscopus caroli winterbottomi C.M.N. White, 1946 . See Snow, 1967b: 67, Fry et al., 2000: 112–115, and Madge, 2008: 72–73.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 704561 , male, collected east of Mwinilunga , 11.44S, 24.24E (Times Atlas), Zambia, on 31 October 1939, by Charles M.N. White.

COMMENTS: In the original description, White noted that the type, then in his collection, was a male collected on 31 October, 1939 at Mwinilunga and that he had a type series of seven specimens. In 1953, White gave AMNH six of his seven specimens, including the holotype bearing his red type label on which he had written ‘‘Type of Anthoscopus caroli winterbottomi .’’ The five paratypes in AMNH are: Mwinilunga, AMNH 704556, unsexed, 31 October 1939; AMNH 704557, male, 15 July 1946; AMNH 704558, female, 22 December [year not noted]; AMNH 704559, female, 16 April 1944; Lusaka, AMNH 704560, female, 27 July [year not noted]. Snow (1967b: 67) considered winterbottomi a synonym of A. c. robertsi, but it was recognized as valid by Fry et al. (2000: 112–115) and Madge (2008: 72–73).
