Phyllostrephus parvus G.A. Fischer & Reichenow, 1884c: 262 .

Now: Acrocephalus gracilirostris parvus ( G.A. Fischer & Reichenow, 1884) . See White (1960); Mayr et al. (1986: 75).

Holotype: ZMB 27398 (B 18651, Fischer no. 841), male, skin, former mount, collected at Murentat, 08.06.[18]83].

Type locality: “ Murentat (Naiwascha-See)” [ Morendat , Nakuru County, Kenya], from the original description as well as locality of the holotype .

Remarks: In the original description, no type was chosen and no inventory numbers for specimens were provided, but measurements for one specimen and the locality “Murentát (Naiwascha-See)” were given. Fischer (1884) listed one specimen (collector’s number 841) for this species with the same data as in the description, so is regarded as the holotype for this species. Fischer & Reichenow (1884c) and Fischer (1884) gave the collecting date for no. 841 as 07.06., but the label indicates 08.06.83. The holotype was collected in papyrus where the Morendat (now Malewa) River enters Lake Naivasha at 0°42’S, 36°25’E on 07 or 08 June 1883.
