Granatina ianthogaster (sic) ugandae van Someren Estrilda ianthinogaster somereni Delacour

Granatina ianthogaster (sic) ugandae van Someren, 1919: 53 (Moroto, Uganda).

Now Granatina ianthinogaster (Reichenow, 1879) . See van Someren, 1922: 160; Hartert, 1928: 196; Delacour, 1943: 84; White, 1963: 198; Mayr et al., 1968: 336; Dickinson, 2003: 730; Fry and Keith, 2004: 334–335; and Payne, 2010: 328.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 452214, adult male, collected on Mount Moroto, 02.32N, 34.46E (Polhill, 1988), Uganda, on 30 November 1917. From the V.G.L. van Someren Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, van Someren cited the above specimen in the Rothschild Collection as the type of ugandae, noting that 10 specimens had been collected; van Someren (1922: 159) listed his localities. One paratype is in AMNH: Kerio, AMNH 452215, male, 4 June 1917 .

G. ianthinogaster has been variously placed in the genera Uraeginthus, Estrilda, and Granatina . Fry and Keith (2004: 334) and Payne (2010: 328) place it in Granatina . Delacour (1943: 84) provided the replacement name Estrilda ianthinogaster somereni for ugandae, preoccupied in Estrilda by Uraeginthus [5 Estrilda] bengalus ugandae Zedlitz, 1911. The two names share the same type.
