HOLOTYPE: AMNH 608895 , adult male, collected at Canhoca , 09.15S, 14.41E ( Dean, 2000: 342), Angola, on 23 December 1903, by W.J. Ansorge (no. 1545). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert cited Ansorge’s field number of the holotype. There are four paratypes, AMNH 608896, 608898, 608899, and 608900, collect- ed by Ansorge in Angola in May, June, and July 1903. AMNH 608897 is not a paratype, as it was collected in August 1908 after the description was published.
