Description

Sylvietta neumanni Rothschild

Sylvietta neumanni Rothschild, 1908: 42 (Forest west of Lake Tanganyika, 2000 m. above the sea).

Now Hemitesia neumanni (Rothschild, 1908). See Urban et al., 1997: 58.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 599303, adult male, collected in the primeval forest west of Lake Tanganyika, 2000 m, Congo (Kinshasa), on 28 (not 8) July 1908, by Rudolf Grauer (no. 3137). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Rothschild gave Grauer’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description. AMNH 599304, female, collected by Grauer on 29 July 1908, is a paratype. There is no indication that the description, published 31 December 1908, included specimens of S. neumanni collected by Grauer in November and December 1908 northwest of Baraka.

Polhill (1988) gave the coordinates of Lake Tanganyika as 03.20– 08.45S, 29.00– 31.15E.
