Description
Anaplectes jubaensis van Someren
Anaplectes jubaensis van Someren, 1920: 94 (southwest of Juba River).
Now Anaplectes rubriceps jubaensis van Someren, 1920. See van Someren, 1922a: 135; Hartert, 1928: 193; Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 60; Zimmerman et al., 1999: 544; Dickinson, 2003: 724; Fry and Keith, 2004: 97–100; Oschadleus, 2009: 121–122; and Craig, 2010: 197.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 725468, adult male, collected southwest of the Juba River, East Africa, in December 1912, by A. Blayley Percival (no. 1145). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, van Someren gave Percival’s number of the holotype, noted that the range was southwest of the Juba River, and said that he knew of five adult males from the same locality. Percival was a game warden in Kenya and the collecting locality of the holotype was probably in the Kenyan portion of the area called ‘‘Jubaland’’ by Chapin (1954a), 00.20S to 03.00N, 40.10E to 43.00E. The holotype was the only specimen that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.
Dickinson (2003: 724) listed jubaensis as a subspecies of A. melanotis, but in a later corrigendum noted that melanotis Lafresnaye was a primary homonym (in Ploceus) and is thus permanently unavailable (ICZN, 1999: 59, Art 57.2). For a discussion of the nomenclature of this species, see Oschadleus (2009).
