Apalis chariessa Reichenow, 1879: 114 View in CoL View at ENA .

Now: Apalis chariessa chariessa Reichenow, 1879 . See White (1962a: 701); Mayr et al. (1986: 160).

Syntype: ZMB 24249 View Materials (B 15697, Fischer no. 310), male, skin, collected at Mitole, 13.09.1878 .

Syntype: ZMB 24250 View Materials (B 15697, Fischer no. 400), female, skin, collected at Mitole, 19.11.1878 .

Type locality: Mitole [Mitole, Tana River County, Kenya], from the original description as well as locality of the syntypes .

Remarks: In the original description, no type was chosen and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for more than one individual and the locality “Mitole” were given. Fischer & Reichenow (1879: 354) listed two specimens from Mitole for this species, so both are syntypes. The loss of forest habitat along the lower Tana suggests that this nominate form may now be globally extinct; a specimen was collected in 1961 (https://ebird.org/checklist/S117362807).
