Muscicapa ansorgei Hartert, 1910c: 95 (Ombrolema, Ogowé River).

Now Myioparus griseigularis griseigularis (Jackson, 1906) View in CoL . See Watson et al., 1986b, and Urban et al., 1997: 492.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 604177 About AMNH , adult female, collected at Ombrolema (Ngomo), Ogooué (5 Ogowe´) River, Gabon, on 27 August (not July, as in original description) 1907, by W.J. Ansorge (no. 722). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Ansorge’s unique field number for the holotype in the original description; he did not indicate how many specimens he had. One paratype is in AMNH: AMNH 604178 About AMNH , adult male, collected at the same place on the same day by Ansorge (no. 720) .

Hartert (1920: 489) corrected the collecting date to that on Ansorge’s label without comment, but cited the collecting locality as Ugowo. This seems to be a different reading of Ansorge’s handwritten label, which I interpret as ‘‘Ngomo’’. Chapin (1954) equat- ed Ombrolema with Ombrokua (sic), 00.49S, 09.58E, Gabon, which is apparently correct, as R. Dowsett (personal commun.) found the same coordinates for Ngomo.
