Cisticola erythrogenys djamdjamensis Neumann

Cisticola erythrogenys djamdjamensis Neumann, 1904a: 163 (Abera in Djamdjam, 3100 m).

Now Cisticola lugubris (Rüppell, 1840) . See Hartert, 1920: 466, Lynes, 1930: 380–381, 385– 388, 628, Urban et al., 1997: 174, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 450.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 593717 , adult female, collected at Abera, 3100 m, 06.27N, 38.28E ( USBGN, 1982b), Ethiopia, on 16 December 1900, by Oscar Neumann (no. 429). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann noted that he had collected a female and a male juvenile and designated the female as the type. Neumann (1906a: 269) listed these two specimens and noted that the specimen he had previously considered a juvenile male was possibly a female. The paratype is AMNH 593718 (Neumann no. 428) with the same locality and date.
