Camaroptera pileata Reichenow, 1891b: 66 .

Now: Camaroptera brachyura pileata (Reichenow, 1891) . See White (1962a); Mayr et al. (1986: 186).

Syntype: ZMB 24756 (B 15689, Fischer no. 411), male, former mount, collected on “ Sansibar ”, 02.10.[1878 or 1879] .

Syntype (missing): ZMB 18940 (B 6334, von der Decken no. 22), female, former mount (originally in alcohol), collected by C.C. von der Decken on “ Sansibar ”, [23.12.1862] .

Type locality: “ Sansibar” [Zanzibar, Tanzania], from the original description and locality of the syntypes .

Remarks: In the original description, no type was chosen and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, but the description refers to two specimens collected by von der Decken (“ Sansibar ”, 23.12.1862) and Fischer (“ Sansibar ”, 2.10.). Therefore both are regarded as syntypes, but it is unclear whether ZMB 24756 was collected by Fischer himself. Fischer’s specimen was listed as Camaroptera olivacea Sundevall in Fischer & Reichenow (1879: 354).
