Description
Erythrospiza githaginea zedlitzi Neumann
Erythrospiza githaginea zedlitzi Neumann, 1907: 145 (westlich Biskra).
Now Bucanetes githagineus zedlitzi (Neumann, 1907). See Hartert, 1919a: 158; Vaurie, 1956b: 3–5; Vaurie, 1959: 626–627; Howell et al., 1968: 263; Dickinson, 2003: 753; and Clement, 2010: 578.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 712339, unsexed [male], collected west of Biskra, 34.50N, 05.41E (Times atlas), Algeria, on 30 January 1903, by E. Flückiger (no. 423). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann designated as the type an adult male in the Rothschild Collection collected west of Biskra on 30 January 1903 by Flückiger. AMNH 712339 was unsexed by Flückiger, but a male symbol had been added to the Rothschild label; this specimen also bears a Rothschild type label. Hartert (1919a: 158) listed as the type an adult male collected on 20 January 1903; the data otherwise matched and this was obviously a misprint as no specimen was collected on 20 January. The second specimen collected on 30 January 1903 west of Biskra, was also unsexed by Flückiger, but no sex symbol had been added to the Rothschild label.
Neumann (1907: 146) studied over 30 specimens of zedlitzi collected between November and April and held in a number of collections. He gave the range as Algiers and Tunisia with the localities and collectors listed separately. Specimens in AMNH that are definitely paratypes are: AMNH 712340, male, south of Biskra, 7 January 1903, no. 266; AMNH 712341, male, Biskra, 31 January 1903, no. 437; AMNH 712342, unsexed, west of Biskra 30 January 1903, no. 424; and AMNH 712343, unsexed, near Biskra, 26 January 1903, no. 384 or 385 (both numbers appear on the label), all collected by Flückiger. AMNH 712364, male, 25 December 1902 and AMNH 712365, female, 24 December 1902, both collected at Gafsa, Tunisia, by Paul W.H. Spate. Three specimens, AMNH 712366–712368, undated and unsexed, collected near Gafsa by Hilgert, are possible paratypes. One male, AMNH 712369, collected at Sidi Ali-ben-Aoun, Tunisia, on 14 March 1897, is from a locality not listed by Neumann.
