Hirundo rothschildi Neumann, 1904b: 143 (Schubba in WestKaffa).

Now Hirundo lucida rothschildi Neumann, 1904 View in CoL . See Keith et al., 1992: 189.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 560164 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Schubba , Kefa , Ethiopia, on 11 April 1901, by Oscar Neumann (no. 1085). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann noted that the type was in his collection and did not say how many specimens he had. The above specimen is the only one of this taxon, collected before 1904, that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. Hartert (1922b: 377) listed it as the type, effectively designating it the lectotype, should there be other specimens.

Schubba is near Anderacha, 07°11′N, 36°17′E (Times Atlas), which Neumann (1904a: 324) visited on 5–9 April 1901.
