Description

Drymoica obscura Sundevall, 1850: 103–104.

VERBATIM TYPE LOCALITY: “ Caffraria. ”

CURRENT STATUS: Synonym of Cisticola chiniana campestris Gould, 1845; Cisticolidae (Dickinson & Christidis 2014: 456).

TYPE MATERIAL: Sundevall (1850: 103–104) gave no indication that he had more than a single specimen. However, his acquisition catalogue shows that he had three specimens at hand when he described the species. Gyldenstolpe (1926: 41–42) referred to NRM 568770 [4707] as a “type”, treated here as a lectotype designation of this young male collected 21 September 1839 in Durban. The two paralectotypes are: NRM 568771 [6757], a male collected 20 December 1839 in Durban; and a male [4706] collected 1 October 1839 in Durban, exchanged to Berlin in 1870 (but no longer in the ZMB collection).

VERIFIED TYPE LOCALITY: Durban, KwaZulu-Natal.

COMMENTS: Date and place match journal entries.
