Treatment

Serinus pseudobarbatus van Someren, 1919: 56 (Fort Ternan, Kavirondo) .

Now Serinus mozambicus barbatus (Heuglin, 1864) View in CoL . See van Someren, 1922: 172; Hartert, 1928: 199; Howell, et al., 1968: 218; Fry and Keith, 2004: 479–482; and Clement, 2010: 527– 528.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 713851 View Materials , adult male, collected at Fort Ternan , 00.12S, 35.205E ( Polhill, 1988), Kavirondo, Kenya, on 24 August 1918. From the V.G.L. van Someren Collection via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, van Someren said that the type, bearing the above data, was in the Rothschild Collection; he gave inclusive measurements but did not enumerate his specimens. Van Someren (1922: 172) gave eight measurements, mentioned young specimens, and listed the following localities: Kisumu, Fort Ternan, Kibigori, and Kibingei. Only one of the paratypes came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection : AMNH 713852 View Materials , female, collected at Fort Ternan on 24 August 1918, from van Someren .

The type locality is Fort Ternan, not Fort Fernan, misread by Hartert (1928: 199) from the original label.
