Malimbus malimbicus crassirostris Hartert, 1919: 140 (Budongo Forest, Unyoro) .

Now Malimbus malimbicus crassirostris Hartert, 1919 . See Chapin, 1954b: 386–388; Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 60; Dickinson, 2003: 724; Fry and Keith, 2004: 88–92; and Craig, 2010: 195.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 725064 About AMNH , adult male, collected in the Budongo Forest , c. 01.47N, 31.35E ( Polhill, 1988) Bunyoro (= Unyoro), Uganda, on 17 February 1907, by L.M. Seth- Smith. From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Hartert designated his only adult male as the type in the original description and noted that he had in addition an apparently adult female and a young bird, all from Budongo Forest. The two paratypes are: AMNH 725065 About AMNH , immature male, 7 March 1907; AMNH 725068 About AMNH , female, 25 February 1907, both collected by Seth-Smith.

Moreau and Greenway (1962: 60) and Dickinson (2003: 724) considered crassirostris to be a synonym of nominate malimbicus . Other authors have recognized it.
