Tricholais flavotorquata Hartlaub

Tricholais flavotorquata Hartlaub, 1881a: 624 (Magungo) .

Now Apalis flavida caniceps (Cassin, 1859) . See Chapin, 1953b: 282, and Urban et al., 1997: 263.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 598830 , adult male, collected at Magungo , 02.15N, 31.30E ( Chapin, 1954: 695), Uganda, on 1 December 1879, by Emin Pasha (no. 184). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartlaub (1881a: 624) based his description on a single specimen. This form was listed as a new species in two different Hartlaub publications, both apparently published in April 1881. The name was not listed by Watson et al. (1986a: 161). Chapin (1953b: 282) cited 1880 as the publication date of the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London and 1881 as the date of Hartlaub’s (1881b) second paper. However, Duncan (1937: 73) gave April 1881 as the publication date of part 4 of the 1880 Proceedings, which includes p. 624. Hartlaub’s (1881b: 83–128) report on Emin’s entire collection, where ( Hartlaub, 1881b: 89) this form is listed as a new species, also appeared in April 1881 according to the contents page of the volume; the date ‘‘ February 1881 ’’ that appears at the bottom of the first page of his article evidently refers to the date of the meeting at which the paper was read. Hartlaub (1881b: 89) there referred to the description in the Proceedings, including the page number. Hartlaub may therefore be considered the First Reviser (ICZN, 1999: 30, Art. 24.2.1). This is also in accordance with Recommendation 24B (ICZN, 1999: 31), as most attributions of authorship refer to publication in the Proceedings.

This type had not previously been included with the AMNH types.
