Eremomela flaviventris tardinata Hartert

Eremomela flaviventris tardinata Hartert, 1923c: 149 (Sagayo) .

Now Eremomela icteropygialis griseoflava Heuglin, 1862 . See Watson et al., 1986a: 198, and Urban et al., 1997: 319.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 599365 , adult male, collected at Zagayu (5 Sagayo), 02.57S, 33.45E ( Polhill, 1988), Tanzania, on 2 November 1922, by Arthur Loveridge (no. R.8050). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: AMNH has two Loveridge specimens from Rothschild, a male and a female, collected on the same date and bearing the same number ‘‘R.8050’’. In the original description, Hartert listed the male as the type, thus identifying it as the holotype, but he tied the type label on the female. Later, Hartert (1928: 213) listed the type as a female, without comment, and it is this specimen that incorrectly bears the Rothschild type label and has been included in the type collection at AMNH. I have added an AMNH type label to the male and included both in the type collection, with label notes to indicate the problem. The female, AMNH 599364, is the paratype.
