Histurgops ruficauda Reichenow 1887
Description
Histurgops ruficauda Reichenow, 1887: 67.
Now: Histurgops ruficauda Reichenow, 1887. See Amadon et al. (1962: 6).
Syntype: ZMB 30733 (B 20123, Fischer no. 76), skin, male, collected in “Wembere Ebene”, 24.10.[18]85.
Syntype (missing): Fischer no. 217, collected at “ Ruwana-Fluss (Ruwana River), 22.01.1886.
Type locality: “Wembaere” [Wembere steppe, Singida Region, Tanzania] and “Ruwana-Fluss” [Ruwana River, Mara Region, Tanzania], from the original description as well as localities of the syntypes.
Remarks: In the original description no type was chosen, but two specimens (nos. 76, 217), their localities “Wembaere” and “Ruwana-Fluss”, and dates were given, so the above-listed specimens are regarded as syntypes. However, all ZMB catalogues list just one specimen of this species collected by Fischer on his 1885–1886 expedition, ZMB 30733. The whereabouts of syntype Fischer no. 217 is unknown. The Ruwana River flows into Speke Gulf in the southeastern corner of Lake Victoria (near Bunda) at approximately 2° 07’S, 33°48’E (from Polhill 1988).
