Anthus sordidus asbenaicus Rothschild, 1920: 33 (Mt. Baguezan) .

Now Anthus similis asbenaicus Rothschild, 1920 View in CoL . See Keith et al., 1992: 224.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 571544 About AMNH , adult male, collected in the Baguezane Mts. (= Mt. Baguezan), 17°40′N, 08°45′E ( R. J. Dowsett, personal commun.), Niger, on 25 May 1920, by Angus Buchanan (no. 632). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Rothschild cited Buchanan’s no. 632 for the holotype in the original description. Hartert (1921a: 127) said that Buchanan collected six males and four females at the type locality. The paratypes are AMNH 571545–571553.

Vaurie (1959: 64) noted that Anthus sordidus Rüppell, 1840 , is preoccupied by Anthus sordidus Lesson, 1830 , and that the next available name is Anthus similis (Jerdon, 1840) .
