Bradypterus yokanae van Someren

Bradypterus yokanae van Someren, 1919: 22 (Sezibwa River, Uganda).

Now Bradypterus carpalis Chapin, 1916 . See Chapin, 1953b: 435–437, and Urban et al., 1997: 65–66.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 592222 , adult male, collected on the Sezibwa River , 00.16N, 33.02E – 01.22N, 32.45E ( Polhill, 1988), Uganda, on 11 January 1919. From the V.G.L. van Someren Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, van Someren noted that his type, bearing the above data, was in the Rothschild Collection. It has a Rothschild type label, although it was not in any of Hartert’s lists of types. There were five specimens in van Someren’s type series, but the holotype is the only specimen that came to AMNH. There is one paratype in RMCA ( Louette et al., 2002: 40).
