Description

Pogonocichla margaritata Sundevall, 1850: 104.

VERBATIM TYPE LOCALITY: “ Habitat in Caffraria inferiore s. propria. ”

CURRENT STATUS: Pogonocichla stellata stellata (Vieillot, 1818); Muscicapidae (Dickinson & Christidis 2014: 596); includes friedmanni Clancey, 1972.

STATUS REFERENCE: Sclater 1930: 486 [implicitly including margaritata Sundevall (see Oatley in Hockey et al. 2005)]. White 1962: 137, recognised transvaalensis (Roberts, 1912) (which includes lebombo Roberts, 1935). Clancey et al 1980: 186, recognised margaritata Sundevall, transvaalensis (Roberts, 1912) (which includes lebombo Roberts, 1935, and lebomboensis Roberts, 1940), chirindensis (Roberts, 1914), and hygrica Clancey, 1969).

TYPE MATERIAL: Sundevall (1850: 104) mentioned both male and female in his type description. According to his acquisition catalogue, nine specimens were available at the time for the description. Gyldenstolpe (1926: 54–55) referred to NRM 569711 [6825] as a “type”; we treat this as a lectotype designation of this adult male collected 11 August 1841 in Pietermaritzburg. The eight paralectotypes are: NRM 90189888 [6826], an adult male collected 11 August 1841 in Pietermaritzburg; NRM 90189889 [6827], a “female” collected 27 June 1840 in Durban; NRM 90189890 [6828], a juvenile female collected before 1845 in Durban according to the acquisition catalogue, but “Caffraria” according to the label; NRM 90189891 [6824], an adult male collected 28 June 1842 in Pietermaritzburg; NRM 553737 [6830], a juvenile collected 12 June 1841 in Umgeni, Durban; a male [6823], collected 22 June 1843 in Pietermaritzburg, sent on exchange to Berlin in 1853 (but not found in the ZMB collection); RMNH. AVES.128953 [6829], a juvenile female collected 15 August 1840 in Durban and sent on exchange to Leiden in 1850; and RMNH. AVES.128952 [4735], a male collected 4 July 1839 in Durban, also sent on exchange to Leiden in 1850.
