Alseonax murina G.A. Fischer & Reichenow, 1884a: 54 .

Now: Muscicapa adusta murina (G.A. Fischer & Reichenow, 1884) . See Mayr et al. (1986: 328).

Syntype: ZMB 27438 (B 18662, Fischer no. 930), skin, former mount, female, collected at “Gross-Aruscha”, 15.07.[18]83 .

Syntype: ZMH 6911 (Fischer no. 925), skin, former mount, female, collected at “Gross-Aruscha”, [14.07.1883] .

Type locality: “ Maeru Berg (Massai)” [ Mt Meru, Arusha Region, Tanzania], 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 one specimen and the locality “Maeru-Berg, Massai” were given. Fischer (1884) listed two specimens (nos. 925, 930) from “Gross-Aruscha” for this species. As both specimens from “Gross Aruscha” were collected near Mount Meru (no specimens of this species are traceable from Mount Meru itself), ZMH 6911 and ZMB 27438 are regarded as syntypes. ZMH 6911 was also listed as the type in Bolau (1898). ZMB 27438 was inventoried in March 1884 with the note “ex originale”.
