Cisticola lateralis vincenti Chapin, 1953a: 84 (160 kilometers west of Baraka, Lake Tanganyika, Belgian Congo).

Now Cisticola lateralis modestus (Bocage, 1880) . See Urban et al., 1997: 145–146.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 593409 , adult male, collected 160 km west of Baraka, 04.09S, 29.05E (Times Atlas), Lake Tanganyika , Congo (Kinshasa), on 16 January 1908, by Rudolf Grauer (no. 4090). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Chapin noted that the type bore the above data. His type series comprised another adult male from the same locality: AMNH 593408 , collected on 13 January 1909 ; two subadult males from Duque de Bragança ( AMNH 593413 and 593414) ; an adult male from Bango ( AMNH 593415 ) ; and six males and three females from Luluabourg. Only four males and three females from Luluabourg were cataloged at AMNH: AMNH 258364– 258370 ; the whereabouts of the other two males are not known. All of these specimens are paratypes. AMNH 600045 , collected at Duque de Bragança, was originally identified as Prinia ansorgei and would not have been included in Chapin’s type series .
