Salpornis spilonota erlangeri Neumann

Salpornis spilonota erlangeri Neumann, 1907b: 52 (Anderatscha in Kaffa).

Now Salpornis spilonotus erlangeri Neumann, 1907 . See Fry et al., 2000: 128–132, and Harrap, 2008c: 186–187.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 684907 , adult male, collected at Anderacha (5 Anderatscha), 07.11N, 36.17E (Times Atlas), Ethiopia, on 16 March 1901, by Oscar Neumann (no. 1011). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Neumann (1906a: 258) had earlier discussed his single specimen and specimens of other subspecies of S. spilonotus , refraining from introducing a new name based on a single specimen. Later, in the original description of erlangeri, Neumann (1907b: 52) designated his single specimen as the type, saying that it was in the Rothschild Collection. In addition, he had by that time examined five specimens from Gotola, Djam- jam, in the collection of Baron Erlanger (Ingelheim) and one from Kaffa in BMNH (London); those specimens are paratypes.
