Treatment

Arizelocichla nigriceps percivali Hartert, 1922c: 50 (Usambara Mts., Tanganyika Territory).

Now Andropadus tephrolaemus usambarae (Grote, 1919) . See Rand and Deignan, 1960: 257, and Keith et al., 1992: 283.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 566441 About AMNH , unsexed, collected in the Usambara Mountains , 04°25′– 05°12′S, 38°10′– 38°44′E ( Chapin, 1954:734), in July 1919, by A. Blayney Percival. From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Hartert (1922c: 50), in his original description, mentioned that the type was in the Rothschild Collection, even though he had seen other specimens in the Percival Collection. This is the only Percival specimen of this taxon that came to the AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.

Roy et al. (1998: 61) suggested, on the basis of mitochondrial DNA studies, that usambarae should be considered a subspecies of Andropadus nigriceps .
