Criniger strepitans Reichenow, 1879c: 139 .

Now: Phyllastrephus strepitans (Reichenow, 1879) . See Mayr & Greenway (1960: 265).

Syntype: ZMB 24251 (B 15698, Fischer no. 192), skin, former mount, male, collected at Malindi, 05.06.1878 .

Syntype: ZMB 24252 (B 15698, Fischer no. 191), skin, former mount, male, collected at Malindi, 05.06.1878.

Type locality: “ Malindi ( Ostafrika)” [Malindi, Kilifi County, Kenya], from the original description as well as localities of the syntypes.

Remarks: In the original description no type was chosen, and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for one individual and the locality “ Malindi ” were given. Fischer & Reichenow (1879) mentioned two specimens with nos. 191 & 192 for this species, and so both are regarded as syntypes. Another Fischer specimen of this species in the Hamburg collection (ZMH 8259, Fischer no. 786) cannot be included in the type series as it was collected at Nguruman in 1883.
