Corythaix Cabanisi Reichenow, 1883: 221 .

Now: Tauraco livingstonii cabanisi ( Reichenow, 1883) . See Reichenow (1902a: 51); Peters (1940: 4).

Holotype: ZMB 26953 (B 18402, Fischer no. 457), skin, former mount, female, collected at “Bagamojo”, [08.1879].

Type locality: “ Bagamojo” [ Bagamoyo , Pwani Region, Tanzania] and “Nguru-Berge” [Nguru Mts, Morogoro Region, Tanzania], from the original description, here ascertained as “Bagamojo” [Bagamoyo, Pwani Region, Tanzania] as being the locality of the holotype.

Remarks: In the original description no type was chosen, and no inventory numbers for specimens were provided, but measurements for one specimen and the localities “Bagamojo” and “Nguru-Berge” were given. As Fischer (1885a) includes no. 417 (possibly ZMB 24919, Corythaix reichenowi ) from Nguru Mountains for this species and Reichenow (1894) states that this species is known from only one specimen collected in “Bagamojo”, it is unclear whether a collected specimen of cabanisi exists from the Nguru Mountains. Thus, ZMB 26953 is regarded as the holotype. It was inventoried in 1883–1884 with the note “ex originale”.

There is an additional Fischer specimen of this species in the collection in Berlin ( ZMB 2000.24001 ). However , this specimen has only “ Tanzania ” as locality and no date, so it is not regarded as being a part of the type series .

This species’ name honors the German ornithologist and curator of the ornithological collection at the ZMB, Jean Louis Cabanis (1816–1906).
