Now Camaroptera superciliaris (Fraser, 1843) . See Watson et al., 1986a: 190, and Urban et al., 1997: 300.

COMMENTS: Zedlitz cited Ansorge’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description. As in the previous form, Zedlitz labeled and initialed the specimens he had in his type series. The holotype is so labeled and ‘‘*Typus’’ added. Only one paratype is in AMNH: AMNH 599799, adult male, collected at Komadekke, N’Gounie River, Gabon, by Ansorge.
