Andropadus insularis subalaris Reichenow, 1903a: 544 .

Now: Andropadus importunus insularis Hartlaub, 1861; but see Mayr & Greenway (1960: 254).

Syntype: ZMB 49.34 (Fischer no. 181), skin, female, collected at Malindi, 02.06.[1878].

Syntype: ZMB 29657 (Fischer no. 189), skin, male, collected at Malindi, 04.06.[1878].

Type locality: Malindi [Malindi, Kilifi County, Kenya], from the original description as well as locality of the syntypes.

Remarks: In the original description, no type was chosen and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, with only the collector Fischer and the locality “ Malindi ” being mentioned. As no other specimens match the collecting data, the above-listed specimens are syntypes for this species. Both were listed in Fischer & Reichenow (1879: 348) as Andropadus flavescens .
