Sylviella fischeri Reichenow, 1900a: 22 .

Now: Sylvietta whytii minima ( Ogilvie-Grant, 1900) . See Mayr et al. (1986: 211).

Holotype (missing): ZMB 24246 (B 15685, Fischer no. 174a), male, collected at Malindi, [31.05.1878].

Type locality: Malindi [ Malindi, Kilifi County, Kenya], from the original description as well as locality of the holotype.

Remarks: In the original description one Fischer specimen from Malindi was mentioned, but was formerly referred to as Sylviella leucopsis . The only specimen with such characteristics is ZMB 24246, which is regarded as the holotype. However, it is not now at the ZMB; it was mounted and probably destroyed during World War II. Sylviella fischeri Reichenow, 1900 was described in February 1900 and so is a junior synonym to Sylviella minima Ogilvie-Grant, 1900 , described in January 1900.
