Now Lagonosticta senegala rendalli Hartert, 1898 . See Hartert, 1919a: 147–148; Mayr et al., 1968: 328; Dean, 2000: 325–326; Dickinson, 2003: 729; Fry and Keith, 2004: 360–364; and Payne, 2010: 337–338.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 451204, adult male, collected at Humpata, 14.57S, 13.16E (Dean, 2000: 378), Huíla, Angola, on 16 February 1906, by W.J. Ansorge (no. 276). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Zedlitz gave Ansorge’s original number of the holotype and said that it was in the Rothschild Collection. He described both male and female but did not list specimens he examined.

L. s. pallidicrissa is usually synonymized with rendalli, but it was recognized by Dean (2000: 325–326).
