Uraeginthus bengalus schoanus Neumann

Uraeginthus bengalus schoanus Neumann, 1905: 350 (Ejere, Provinz Meta, Schoa).

Now Uraeginthus bengalus bengalus (Linnaeus, 1766) . See Hartert, 1919a: 140; Chapin, 1954b: 560–562; Mayr et al., 1968: 333; Dickinson, 2003: 729; Fry and Keith, 2004: 327–329; Ash and Atkins, 2009: 349; and Payne, 2010: 327.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 451940, adult male, collected at Ejere, Meta, Shewa (5 Shoa), Ethiopia, on 16 September 1900, by Oscar Neumann (no. 14). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann designated as syntypes the above male and a female (no. 15) with the same data. Hartert (1919a: 140) cited the male (no. 14) as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. The paralectotype is AMNH 451941, female, collected at Ejere, on 16 September 1900, by Neumann (no. 15). Because Neumann designated syntypes, his other specimens are excluded from the type series (ICZN, 1999: 77, Art. 72.4.6).

Neumann (1904: 321) listed his localities and noted that Ejere was now known as Adis Halem, listed by Ash and Akins (2009: 399) as Adis Alem, 09.03N, 38.23E.
