Alseonax murinus djamdjamensis Neumann

Alseonax murinus djamdjamensis Neumann, 1905b: 206 (Gerbidjo in Djamdjam—ca. 2800 m).

Now Muscicapa adusta minima Heuglin, 1862 . See Watson et al., 1986b: 328, and Urban et al., 1997: 477.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 604073 , adult female, collected at Gerbidjo, ca. 2800 m, 06.34S, 38.30E (R. Dowsett, personal commun.), Ethiopia, on 14 December 1900, by Oscar Neumann (no. 411). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann designated as holotype the specimen bearing his number 411. He apparently considered that only the one specimen belonged to the new subspecies; it is marked ‘‘Typus’’ in Neumann’s hand. All of the other specimens of ‘‘ Alseonax murina ’’ that he collected were listed under ‘‘ Alseonax murinus pumilus ’’.
