Cypselus stictilaemus Reichenow, 1879b: 114 .

Now: Telacanthura ussheri stictilaema (Reichenow, 1879) . See Reichenow (1903b: 387); Peters (1940: 240).

Holotype: ZMB 24265 (B 15715, Fischer no. 360), skin, former mount, male, collected at Ualimi, 22.10.[1878].

Type locality: “ Ualimi (Ostafrica)” [ Ualimi country, Tana River County, Kenya] from the original description as well as locality of the holotype .

Remarks: In the original description, no type was chosen and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for one specimen were given. Fischer & Reichenow (1879) listed for this species only one specimen (no. 360), whose measurements are identical to that in Reichenow (1879b), so ZMB 24265 is regarded as the holotype. It was inventoried in March 1884 with the note “ex originale”.
