[ Ammomanes deserti janeti Meinertzhagen ]

When Meinertzhagen (1933: 151) described these taxa, he said that the types were in the Rothschild Collection. However, by 1933, the Rothschild Collection had already been moved to AMNH. The holotypes of these taxa went to BMNH as part of a later Rothschild bequest. The holotype of A. d. bensoni is BMNH Reg. no. 1939.12.9.279 and of A. d. janeti is BMNH Reg. no. 1939.12.9.269 ( Warren and Harrison, 1971: 63, 271).
