Description
Serinus buchanani Hartert
Serinus buchanani Hartert, 1919b: 50 (Maktan, British East Africa).
Now Serinus buchanani Hartert, 1919. See Hartert, 1928: 199; Howell, et al., 1968: 221; Zimmerman et al., 1999: 562; Dickinson, 2003: 747; Fry and Keith, 2004: 488–489; and Clement, 2010: 528.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 713518, adult male, collected at Maktau (not Maktan), 03.25S, 38.07E (Polhill, 1988), Teita, Kenya, on 18 September 1915, by Angus Buchanan (no. 1). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert gave Buchanan’s field number of the holotype and noted that he had one male, one female, and a nest with eggs. The paratype in AMNH is: AMNH 713519, female, collected at Maktau on 19 October 1915 by A. Buchanan (no. 26). The nest and eggs did not come to AMNH.
This form had been treated as a subspecies of S. donaldsoni, but Zimmerman et al. (1999: 562) treated it as a full species, and subsequent authors have agreed.
