Phyllastrephus icterinus sethsmithi Hartert and Neumann

Phyllastrephus icterinus sethsmithi Hartert and Neumann, 1910: 81 (im Budongo Walde in Unyoro).

Now Phyllastrephus xavieri xavieri (Oustalet, 1892) .

See Keith et al., 1992: 340.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 566958 , adult male, collected in the Budongo Forest , 01°40′– 01°53′N, 31°25′– 31°41′E ( Chapin, 1954: 649), Uganda, on 20 February 1907, by Leslie M. Seth­Smith. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description; rather, Hartert and Neumann (1910: 82) said that there were in the Rothschild Collection ‘‘ein Männchen und ein Weibchen’’, collected on 20 and 25 February 1907 in the Budongo Forest. Actually, two males and a female with those data came to AMNH. The above specimen, the only one collected on 20 February, was designated the lectotype by Hartert (1922b: 369). The female collected on 25 February, AMNH 566960, is a paralectotype. A second male, AMNH 566959, collected on 25 February, may also be a paralectotype, but it is not known to have been in the Rothschild Collection when P. i. sethsmithi was described.
