Treatment

Ploceus flavissimus Neumann, 1907: 595 (Soullouke´).

Now Ploceus galbula Rüppell, 1840 View in CoL . See Hartert, 1919: 145; and Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 43.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 725031 About AMNH , male, collected at Soullouke´, Ethopia, on 22 August 1904, on the Baron Maurice de Rothschild expedition (no. 460). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Neumann had a single specimen when he named this form. It is an abberant individual ( Hartert, 1919: 145), mostly yellow with white shafts to primaries and rectrices. The collecting locality is shown on the map in M. de Rothschild (1922: 1017), but the longitudes given on that map are not correct.
