Hypargos nitidulus virginiae Amadon

Hypargos nitidulus virginiae Amadon, 1953: 432 (Opu River, Fernando Po).

Now Mandingoa nitidula virginiae ( Amadon, 1953) View in CoL . See Mayr et al., 1968: 316; Dickinson, 2003: 727; Fry and Keith, 2004: 275–277; and Payne, 2010: 311–312.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 298108 View Materials , adult male, collected on the Rio Opu , Bioko Island (5 Fernando Po), Equatorial Guinea, on 8 September 1929, by J.G. Correia (no. 2361).

COMMENTS: Amadon gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and noted that Correia had collected a female also. The paratype is AMNH 298109, female, Rio Opu, 8 September 1929, by Correia.

Payne (2010: 311–312) synonymized virginiae with M. n. schlegeli, whereas other authors have recognized it. The entirely red bill and the wash of golden yellow on the back of the male do not seem to be matched by specimens of schlegeli in AMNH, and I believe further study is warranted once more specimens from Bioko are available.

Hartert (1919a: 146–147) introduced the name Mandingoa as a new generic name for Lagonosticta nitidula Hartlaub, 1886 .
