Treatment

Pycnonotus barbatus nigeriae Hartert, 1921b: 126 (Degama) .

Now Pycnonotus barbatus gabonensis Sharpe, 1871 View in CoL . See Keith et al., 1992: 366.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 567799 About AMNH , adult female (not male), collected at Degema , 04°45′N, 06°49′E (Times Atlas), Nigeria, on 23 May 1902, by William J. Ansorge (no. 478). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Ansorge’s field number of the type is given in the original description. Originally published as a male, this specimen was sexed as a female by Ansorge. His symbol used on the label was an upsidedown male symbol, first misinterpreted but later corrected by Hartert (1928: 223). Hartert (1921b: 126) mentioned 24 paratypes; these are AMNH 567800–567823.

See Pasquet et al. (2001) for the results of recent DNA studies.
