Crateropus hypoleucus subsp. rufuensis Neumann 1906

Description

Crateropus hypoleucus rufuensis Neumann, 1906: 148.

Now: Turdoides hypoleuca rufuensis (Neumann, 1906). See Deignan et al. (1964: 346).

Holotype: ZMB 29701 (Fischer no. 2), skin, male, collected in “Usegua”, 28.08.1885.

Paratype: ZMB 2000.64508, skin, male, juvenile, collected by L. von Trotha at “Kiboscho (Kilima Ndscharo)”, 17.03.1896.

Type locality: “ Usegua” [Useguha country, Tanga Region, Tanzania], the locality of the holotype.

Remarks: In the original description ZMB 29701 was chosen as the type specimen and is therefore the holotype for this subspecies. Neumann (1906) also mentioned another specimen collected by von Trotha that he had examined (ZMB 2000.64508). He gave the distribution as “Gebiet des oberen Rufu (Pangani) von Kiboscho am Kilima Ndscharo bis nach Usegua” (Area of the upper Rufu (Pangani) River from Kiboscho at Kilimanjaro to Usegua).
