status

 

Drymoica curvirostris Sundevall, 1850: 104 .

VERBATIM TYPE LOCALITY: “ Caffraria. ”

CURRENT STATUS: Cisticola natalensis natalensis (A. Smith, 1843) ; Cisticolidae ( Dickinson & Christidis 2014: 458) .

TYPE MATERIAL: In the original description by Sundevall (1850: 104) both sexes are mentioned. In Sundevall’s acquisition catalogue only two specimens are listed and are referred to as “f#” and “f# jun”. All specimens were sexed by Wahlberg (according to Gyldenstolpe), but for this species all the original Wahlberg labels are lost. Gyldenstolpe (1926: 41) mentioned a female, referred to as “cotype” and an adult male as “type”. We treat the latter as a lectotype designation of NRM 568775 [6754], which is a study skin and may be female, but was referred to by both Sundevall and Gyldenstolpe as a probable male, collected 4 June 1840 in Durban. The paralectotype NRM 568776 [6753] is a study skin of a female, possibly juvenile, collected 20 June 1840 in Durban.

VERIFIED TYPE LOCALITY: Durban , KwaZulu-Natal .

COMMENTS: There is no entry in the journal for this day, but date and place are in line with other specimens collected at the same time.
