Speculipastor bicolor Reichenow, 1879a: 107–108 .

Now: Speculipastor bicolor Reichenow, 1879 . See Amadon et al. (1962b: 99).

Syntype (missing): ZMB 24261 (B 15711, Fischer no. 238), male, collected at Kipini, [11.07.1878] .

Syntype: ZMB 24262 (B 15711, Fischer no. 240), skin, former mount, female, collected at Kipini, 11.07.1878 .

Syntype (missing): Fischer no. 239, female, collected at Kipini, [11.07.1878].

Type locality: “ Kipini (Ost-Africa)” [ Kipini, Tana River 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, but measurements for more than one specimen, descriptions for both sexes, and the locality “Kipini (Ost-Africa)” were given. Fischer & Reichenow (1879) listed three specimens (nos. 238, 239, 240) for this species, and thus all three are syntypes. The missing no. 239 was not inventoried in Berlin. The other two were mounted in 1879–1880, and ZMB 24261was probably destroyed along with other mounts in World War II.
