Telephonus minor Reichenow, 1887: 64 .

Now: Tchagra australis minor ( Reichenow, 1887) . See Mayr & Greenway (1960: 324); White (1962b: 21); Dickinson & Christidis (2014).

Holotype: ZMB 2000.5082 (B 20151, Fischer no. 140), skin, female, collected at “Kagehi”, 19.11.[1885].

Type locality: “ Kagehi” [ Kayenzi , Mwanza Region, Tanzania], from the original description and locality of the holotype .

Remarks: In the original description no type was directly chosen, but measurements for one specimen, and a specimen with no. 140, the date, and the locality “Kagehi” were given; thus ZMB 2000.5082 is regarded as the holotype for this species. The localities “Wembaere Steppe” [Wembere Plains] and “Simiu Fluss” [Simiyu River] were additionally listed in Reichenow (1887) as a citation from Fischer’s diaries, but without details of any collected specimens.
