Vidua splendens Reichenow 1879

Authors/Creators

Description

Vidua splendens Reichenow, 1879b: 114.

Now: Vidua hypocherina J.P. Verreaux & J.B.É. Verreaux, 1856. See Reichenow (1904b: 216); Jackson & Sclater (1938: 1528).

Holotype: ZMB 24264 (B 15713, Fischer no. 396), mount, male, collected at Kibaradja, 12.11.1878.

Type locality: “ Kibaradja (Ostafrika)” [Kibaradja, Tana River County, Kenya], from the original description as well as locality of the holotype.

Remarks: In the original description no type was chosen, and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for one specimen and the locality “Kibaradja (Ostafrika)” were given. Fischer & Reichenow (1879: 352) listed one specimen (no. 396). As there is only one Fischer specimen from that locality and the collector’s number matches that in Fischer & Reichenow (1879), ZMB 24264 is regarded as the holotype for this species. The specimen was mounted and inventoried in October 1879, after publication of the description (August 1879). Other Berlin Fischer specimens (ZMB 26641, ZMB 2000.32539, ZMB 2000.32540) were collected later, at other localities, so have no type status.
