Anthoscopus ansorgei Hartert

Anthoscopus ansorgei Hartert, 1905b: 74 (Mangonga River, Benguella).

Now Anthoscopus caroli ansorgei Hartert, 1905. See Fry et al., 2000: 112–115, Dean, 2000: 266, and Madge, 2008: 72–73.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 683385, adult male, collected on the Mangonga River, 12.49S, 15.49E (Chapin, 1954: 697), Huambo Province (labeled Benguela by Ansorge), Angola, on 15 December 1904, by William J. Ansorge (no. 912). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert gave Ansorge’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and said only that Ansorge had collected a small series in Bié and Benguela, Angola, including male, female, and immature specimens. The Mangonga River locality is in what is now Huambo. Dean (2000: 381) did not list coordinates for the locality; the above coordinates from Chapin are also within Huambo. Paratypes are: labeled Benguela Province by Ansorge, AMNH 683384 (Ansorge no. 121), female, Fort Quillenges, 14 January 1905; AMNH 683386 (1), male, Losili River, 16 September 1904; AMNH 683387 (29), female, Wanbo, 18 September 1904; labeled Bié Province by Ansorge, AMNH 683388 (418), male, Bigando, 24 October 1904; AMNH 683389 (207), female, Fort Belmont (Silva Porto), 7 October 1904; AMNH 683390 (274), male, Caiala, 13 October 1904; AMNH 683391 (229), male, Caiala, 10 October 1904; AMNH 683392 (230), female, Caiala, 10 October 1904; AMNH 683393 (825), female, Caiala, 1 December 1904; AMNH 683394 (794), male, Chiyuka, 27 November 1904; and AMNH 683395 (479), male, Menjiri River (entering [?] bank of the Quanza River), 1 November 1904.
