Bleda exima [sic] ugandae van Someren, 1915a: 116 (Mabira Forest, Uganda).

Bleda notata ugandae van Someren, 1915 . See Chappuis and Erard, 1993.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 566379 About AMNH , adult male, collected in the Mabira Forest , 00°23′– 00°32′N, 32°54′– 33°07′E ( Chapin, 1954: 695), Uganda, on 17 January 1914, by Victor G.L. van Someren (no. 13). From the van Someren Collection via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, the type was said to be in the Rothschild Museum and to bear the above data, but van Someren’s field number was not included; eight specimens were obtained. Only three specimens from Mabira Forest, collected before 1915, came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. The date on the above specimen is unique. Paratypes in AMNH are AMNH 566387 About AMNH and 566388. Another paratype is in RMCA ( Louette et al., 2002: 32) .

Keith et al. (1992: 351) included ugandae in B. eximia . See Pasquet et al. (2001) for the results of recent DNA studies.
