Paludipasser uelensis Chapin

Paludipasser uelensis Chapin, 1916: 24 (Faradje, Upper Uele District).

Now Paludipasser locustella uelensis (Chapin, 1916) . See Chapin, 1954b: 504–505; Mayr et al., 1968: 352; Dickinson, 2003: 732; Fry and Keith, 2004: 390–392; and Payne, 2010: 300.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 162460, adult male, collected at Faradje, 03.45N, 29.42E (Chapin, 1954a), Upper Uele District, Congo (Kinshasa), on 18 January 1913, by James P. Chapin (no. 4482) on the Lang-Chapin Congo Expedition.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Chapin cited his unique field number of the holotype and gave measurements of nine males and three females. The 11 paratypes are: Faradje, AMNH 162453–162456, four males, 12 March 1912 ; Garamba, AMNH 162457, 162458, two males, 15–20 June 1912 ; Faradje, AMNH 162459, male, 18 January 1913 ; Niangara, AMNH 162461, male, 8 June 1913 ; Faradje, AMNH 162462, 162463, two females, 12 March 1912 ; AMNH 162464, female, 18 January 1913. Two of these were exchanged to RMCA: AMNH 162454 (RMCA 18495) and AMNH 162464 (RMCA 19621) (M. Louette, personal commun.). AMNH 162456 was exchanged to FMNH, now FMNH 269384 (D. Willard, personal commun.). I did not find AMNH 162459 in the collection; it was perhaps exchanged without the catalog having been marked.
