Petronia albigularis C.L. Brehm, 1856: 377 (Sennaar).
Now Gymnoris dentata dentata (Sundevall, 1850). See Hartert, 1918a: 14; Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 26; Dickinson, 2003: 718; Fry and Keith, 2004: 42–43; and Summers-Smith, 2009: 810.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 456579, adult male, collected at Sennar (5 Sennaar), 13.31N, 33.38E (Times Atlas), on the Blue Nile, Sudan, on 22 September 1850, by Alfred E. Brehm. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Brehm did not enumerate his specimens of this form in the original description. Two specimens came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. A male and a female specimen of albigularis were collected on the same day at Sennar. Hartert (1918a: 14), by listing the male as the type, designated it the lectotype. The female, AMNH 456580, is a paralectotype.
This species is often included in the genus Petronia. Most recent authors consider the species dentata monotypic, but Summers- Smith (2009: 810) recognized two subspecies.
