Trochocercus vivax Neave, 1909: 129 (Katanga, S.E. Congo Free State).
Now Trochocercus cyanomelas vivax Neave, 1909 View in CoL . See Urban et al., 1997: 526, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 285.
Syntype: AMNH 650066, immature male, collected on the Dikulwe River, Katanga, southeast Congo (Kinshasa), on 29 March 1907, by S.A. Neave (no. 121). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Neave gave neither the number nor sex of his specimens and did not designate a type. In his later account of the collection, Neave (1910a: 130) listed his three specimens: an adult male and female, which he called ‘‘types’’ and figured in plate 1, and the above immature male (no. 121). His listing of the two adult specimens as ‘‘types’’ is an invalid designation of a lectotype; they are correctly listed as syntypes in BMNH by Warren and Harrison (1971: 588). The immature male, AMNH 650066 About AMNH , is also a syntype, marked on Neave’s label as ‘‘ Trochocercus vivax Cotype’’, apparently by Neave. This syntype was not listed by Hartert in any of his lists of types in the Rothschild Collection and had not previously been included in the AMNH type collection .
Neave (1910a: 80, 82) noted that between 9 March and 7 April 1907 he was in the upper Dikulwe Valley at 3500–4000 ft, and he showed this locality on a sketch-map. For recent molecular studies of Trochocercus , see Pasquet et al. (2002).
