Laniarius cathemagmenus Reichenow, 1887: 63 .

Now: Rhodophoneus cruentus cathemagmenus ( Reichenow, 1887) . See Mayr & Greenway (1960: 326).

Syntype: ZMB 28271 (B 20095 female, Fischer no. 11), skin, former mount, female, collected at “Loeru, Massaigebiet”, 05.09.[18]85 .

Syntype: ZMB 28272 (B 20095 male, Fischer no. 10), skin, former mount, male, collected at “Loeru, Massaigebiet”, 05.09.[18]85 .

Type locality: Loeru [Loeru, southeast of Konda, Dodoma Region, Tanzania] and Ugaia [Ugaia country (south of Kavirondo Gulf), Homa Bay County, Kenya], from the original description and ascertained as Loeru [Loeru, southeast of Konda, Dodoma Region, Tanzania], the locality of the syntypes.

Remarks: In the description no type was chosen nor were inventory numbers for specimens given. The characters were described and measurements given for both sexes, and the localities “Loeru” and “Ugaia” were given. Therefore both ZMB 28272 and ZMB 28271 are syntypes. The locality “Ugaia” was given for “birds observed” (from Fischer’s diary). Therefore the type locality is ascertained as Loeru [Loeru, southeast of Konda, Dodoma Region, Tanzania].
