Boulengerula uluguruensis Barbour and Loveridge 1928

Memoirs of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, 50:183.

Paratypes (2): PEM A 2947–2948 (formerly both AM 6011); Vituri, Uluguru Mountains, Tanzania; A. Loveridge, 30 October 1926.

Remarks. The type description lists a total of 40 specimens collected from the Uluguru Mountains from 20 September – 30 October 1926. It clearly states that MCZ A-12367 is designated as the holotype and the remainder as paratypes, all in the MCZ. Subsequently, paratypes were exchanged to other institutions, i.e. four to AMNH, three to FMNH ( Marx 1958), one each to SMF, UIMNH ( Smith et al. 1964), BMNH, and the Congo Museum. The MCZ online database shows that two paratypes (MCZ A-12377 and A-12378) were sent in exchange to Hewitt at the AMG, before subsequently being transferred to PEM. Both specimens have a longitudinal ventral incision.
