Remarks: In the description of Batis reichenowi Grote, 1911 , no type was chosen, but both male and female were described and measurements for more than one specimen were given. Grote wrote that he collected the specimens at Mikindani. In two other publications Grote (1912, 1913) gave an overview of his collection from Tanzania. He listed three specimens (Grote numbers 179, 214, 215) from Mikindani as Batis reichenowi ( Grote 1913: 126) . Therefore, these three specimens are regarded as syntypes of Batis reichenowi .
