Harpolestes senegalus confusus van Someren, 1922: 113 (Umfalosi, Zululand) .

Now Tchagra senegala orientalis (Cabanis, 1869) . See Fry et al., 2000: 427.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 663417 , adult male, collected at Umfolozi Station , 28°27′S, 32°10′E ( Skead, 1973), 201 ft, Natal, South Africa, on 2 August 1904, by Claude H.B. Grant. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, van Someren (1922: 113) stated that the type was in the Rothschild Collection. This is the only Grant specimen of this taxon that came to AMNH, and data on it match that ascribed to the type in the original description.
