Numida meleagris callervaerti Chapin, 1932

1932 American Museum Novitates 570: 1.

Now Numida meleagris galeatus Pallas, 1767 .

See Martinez, 1994: 565.

MHNG 833.021, 834.093, and 834.094: collected in the Congo (now Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kasaï- Occidental, Luluabourg = Kananga) by R. P. Callervaert in March 1924. He sent 13 adults and three chicks from the same locality (collected the same year) to the AMNH. The MHNG specimens were probably part of the birds collected during the same expedition as the type series but we have no evidence that they were examined by Chapin (1932), who worked on the AMNH specimens.
