Pogonorhynchus massaicus Reichenow, 1887: 59 .

Now: Tricholaema diademata massaica (Reichenow, 1887) . See Peters (1948: 53).

Holotype: ZMB 50.16 (Fischer no. 14), skin, female, collected at Loeru, [05.09.1885].

Paratype: ZMB 27526 (B 18671, Fischer no. 824), male, collected at “Naiwascha”, [27.05.1883].

Paratype (missing): Fischer no. 769, skin, male, collected at Matióm, [14.04.1883].

Type locality: “Massailand” (region inhabited by the Masai tribe) [Kenya / Tanzania] and Loeru, from the description, ascertained as Loeru [Loeru, southeast of Kondoa, Dodoma Region, Tanzania], the locality of the holotype.

Remarks: In the original description the holotype was mentioned with the collecting dates, and that specimens collected earlier by Fischer in “Massailand” and determined as Pogonorhynchus frontatus Cabanis also belong to the newly described species P. massaicus . For P. frontatus, Fischer (1884) listed two specimens (Fischer nos. 769, 824), which are thus regarded as paratypes, but no. 769 is missing. The type locality was ascertained as Loeru [Loeru, southeast of Kondoa, Dodoma Region, Tanzania], the locality of the holotype.
