Andropadus gracilirostris liberiensis Reichenow, 1895b: 160 ( Liberia).

Now Andropadus gracilirostris gracilirostris Strickland, 1844 View in CoL . See Hartert, 1922b: 370, and Keith et al., 1992: 294.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 567033 About AMNH , unsexed, collected at Grand Cape Mount, Liberia, on 26 January 1893, by Jackson Demery. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In his original description, Reichenow (1895b: 160) said only that the type was collected in Liberia by Demery and was in the Rothschild Collection. Hartert (1922b: 370) designated this specimen the lectotype; it is the only Demery Liberian specimen with the above data, and it bears the Rothschild type label. There are three paralectotypes: AMNH 567034–567036. All four are from spirits.

According to Seltzer (1962: 705), Grand Cape Mount is a county on the Atlantic coast of Liberia, of which Robertsport (sometimes called Cape Mount), 06°45′N, 11°22′W (Times Atlas), is the main center.
