scientific name

Pitylia caniceps Reichenow, 1879c: 139
status

 

Pitylia caniceps Reichenow, 1879c: 139 .

Now: Odontospiza griseicapilla ( Delacour, 1943) . See Blake et al. (1968: 335).

Holotype: ZMB 24263 View Materials (B 15712, Fischer no. 385), skin, male, collected at “Massa”, 05.11.[1878].

Type locality: “ Massa” [Masabubu, Tana River County, Kenya], from the original description as well as locality of the holotype.

Remarks: In the description no type was chosen, and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for one specimen and the locality “Massa” were given. The given measurements are identical to those listed in Fischer & Reichenow (1879) for no. 385, so ZMB 24263 is the holotype for this species. The correct name is Odontospiza griseicapilla Delacour, 1943 , as the original species name caniceps was preoccupied by Munia caniceps ( Blake et al. 1968) .
