Uraeginthus bengalus perpallidus Neumann

Uraeginthus bengalus perpallidus Neumann, 1905: 351 (Goz abu Guma oder Kaka am Weissen Nil).

Now Uraeginthus bengalus bengalus (Linnaeus, 1766) . See Hartert, 1919a: 140; Mayr et al., 1968: 333; Dickinson, 2003: 729; Fry and Keith, 2004: 327–329; and Payne, 2010: 327.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 451935 , adult male, collected at Goz abu Guma or Kaka, 10.41N, 32.13E (Times atlas), on the White Nile, Sudan, on 15 or 16 June 1901 (as on label, not 14 or 15 June as in description), by Oscar Neumann.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann designated his two specimens, a male and a female with the same data, as syntypes of perpallidus. By so doing, he excluded other specimens from the type series (ICZN, 1999: 77, Art. 72.4.6).

Hartert (1919a: 140–141) listed the male as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. The paralectotype is AMNH 451936, female, collected at Goz abu Guma or Kaka on the White Nile, on 15 or 16 June 1901, by Neumann.
