Treatment

Harpolestes australis ansorgei Neumann, 1909: 53 (Pungo Andongo)

Now Tchagra australis ansorgei ( Neumann, 1909) View in CoL . See Fry et al., 2000: 422.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 663295, male, collected at Pungo Andongo, 09°44′S, 15°35′E (Times Atlas), Angola, on 3 July 1903, by Dr. William J. Ansorge (no. 522). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Neumann (1909: 53) listed the type as a male collected on 3 July 1903. Only one of two males was collected byAnsorge on 3 July and is therefore the holotype. AMNH 663296, male, and AMNH 663297, female, are paratypes. As Hartert (1920: 450) commented, these three specimens are not fully adult.

Pelicinius cruentus hilgerti Neumann

Pelicinius cruentus hilgerti Neumann, 1903: 182 (Sheikh Hussein) . Now Telophorus cruentus hilgerti ( Neumann, 1903) View in CoL . See Fry et al., 2000: 417.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 664084 About AMNH , subadult male, collected at Sheˉh Huseˉn (= Sheikh Hussein ), 07°45′N, 40°42′E ( USBGN, Gazetteer of Ethiopia 1982), Ethiopia, on 23 September 1894, by Dr. A. GoogleMaps

Donaldson Smith (no. 314). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Neumann (1903: 183) noted that the type was a ‘‘semiad.’’ male in the Rothschild Collection, collected on 23 September 1894 by Donaldson Smith, but did not say how many specimens he examined. Two males and one female collected by Donaldson Smith came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. The two males were collected at Sheikh Hussein on 23 September 1894 ; however, AMNH 664084 About AMNH is the only one not in fully adult male plumage, and thus it is the holotype. It is marked ‘‘Typus’’, presumably in Neumann’s hand, and bears the Rothschild type label. Likely paratypes are AMNH 664089 About AMNH , adult female, and AMNH 664090 About AMNH , adult male .

Rand (1960: 326) placed this taxon in the genus Tchagra ; Sibley and Monroe (1990: 500) placed it in Rhodophoneus , as did Harris and Franklin (2000: 239).
