Serinus leucopygius riggenbachi Neumann

Serinus leucopygius riggenbachi Neumann, 1908a: 44 (Thiés near Dakar).

Now Serinus leucopygius riggenbachi Neumann, 1908 . See Hartert, 1919a: 160; Vaurie, 1956a: 5– 6; Howell et al., 1968: 215; Fry and Keith, 2004: 470–471; and Clement, 2010: 522–523.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 713382 , adult male, collected at Thiés, 14.49N, 16.52W (Times atlas), Senegal, on 24 May 1907, by F.W. Riggenbach (no. 519). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann said that the male type, in the Rothschild Collection, was collected on 24 May 1907 at Thiés, but there are two Riggenbach specimens collected on that date, therefore the type designation is ambivalent. Hartert (1919a: 160) listed this type, giving Riggenbach’s unique field number of 519,

thus designating the specimen that is now AMNH 713382 the lectotype. The following specimens are paralectotypes: Senegal, Thiés, AMNH 713383 (Riggenbach no. 515), AMNH 713384 (518), 713385 (514), males ; AMNH 713386 (516), 713387 (517), 713388 (513), 713389 (521), females, collected in May and June 1907 ; Gassam, AMNH 713390 (1292), 713391 (1264), 713392 (1253), males ; AMNH 713393 (1243), female, collected in August and September 1907 ; Onomim, AMNH 713394 (872), male, collected in September 1907. There are two additional undated Rothschild specimens from Gambia that are probable paralectotypes: AMNH 713395 , ex Bartlett Collection ; AMNH 713396 , ex Boucard Collection .
