Otyphantes [sic] emini budongoensis van Someren, 1921c: 123 (Busindi near Budongo).

Now Ploceus baglafecht emini (Hartlaub, 1882). See Hartert, 1928: 193; Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 36; Dickinson, 2003: 719–720; Fry and Keith, 2004: 106–108; and Craig, 2010: 190.

COMMENTS: In the original description, van Someren designated as type the single specimen with the above data in the Rothschild Collection. He did not enumerate his specimens but gave the range as Budongo, Masindi, and Bugoma. The following specimens from the van Someren Collection are paratypes: Busindi, AMNH 723063, female, 7 June 1919; Masindi, AMNH 723064, female, AMNH 723065, female?, 17 December, 1918; Bugoma, AMNH 723066, male, 27 June 1919.
