Cuculus validus Reichenow, 1879c: 139 .

Now: Pachycoccyx audebert validus (Reichenow, 1879) . See Reichenow (1902a: 83); Peters (1940: 14).

Holotype: ZMB 24266 View Materials (B 15721, Fischer no. 330), skin, former mount, female, collected at “Muniuni, Ostafrika”, 25.09.[1878].

Type locality: “Muniuni (Ostafrika)” [ Munyuni , Tana River County, Kenya], from the original description and locality of the holotype.

Remarks: In the original description, no type was chosen nor were inventory numbers for specimens given, but measurements for one individual were mentioned. These measurements are identical to those for specimen no. 330 in Fischer & Reichenow (1879: 341). Thus, ZMB 24266 is regarded as the holotype.
