Description
Gallinula angulata Sundevall 1850: 110.
VERBATIM TYPE LOCALITY: “ Hab. in Caffraria inferiore ”.
CURRENT STATUS: Gallinula angulata Sundevall, 1850; Rallidae (Dickinson & Remsen 2013: 161).
TYPE MATERIAL: In the original type description Sundevall gave information about an adult male and a juvenile specimen. According to Sundevall’s acquisition catalogue, the original type series must have consisted of at least nine specimens. Gyldenstolpe (1926: 107) referred to NRM 569826 [7890] as “type”, which we treat here as a lectotype designation of an adult male, collected 23 March 1841 at uMlazi River. The eight paralectotypes are: NRM 90108136 [7895], an adult female collected 6 April 1841 at uMlazi River; NRM 554403 [7892], a juvenile male collected 9 April 1841 at uMlazi River; NRM 901081 [7891], an adult male collected 27 January 1842 at Apies River; NRM 554404 [7893], a pullus (not sexed) collected 14 February 1842 at Apies River; RMNH. AVES.229709 [7888], an adult male collected 29 March 1841 at uMlazi River; and RMNH. AVES.229710 [7896], a female collected 22 April 1841 at uMlazi River, both sent on exchange to Leiden in 1850; and a male collected 24 March 1841 at uMlazi River and a female collected 22 April 1841 at uMlazi River, both sent on exchange to Berlin in 1853 (but no longer found in the ZMB collection).
VERIFIED TYPE LOCALITY: uMlazi River, KwaZulu-Natal.
