Poeocephalus simplex Reichenow, 1887: 55 .

Now: Poicephalus rufiventris rufiventris ( Rüppell, 1842) . See Reichenow (1902a: 15): but see also Peters (1937: 228).

Holotype: ZMB 50.188 (Fischer no. 20), skin, female, collected near “Serian”, 10.9.[1885].

Type locality: “ bei Serian” [near Serya , Kondoa District, Dodoma Region, Tanzania], from the original description and locality of the holotype .

Remarks: In the original description, no type was chosen, nor were inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for one specimen, the locality “Serian”, and the date were given. As ZMB 50.188 is the only specimen of that species with these collecting data, it is regarded as the holotype. Reichenow (1887) suspected that this species was probably the female of P. rufiventris .
