HOLOTYPE: AMNH 571392 About AMNH , adult female, collected at Nakuru, 00°16′S, 36°04′E (Times Atlas), Kenya, on 2 January 1917, by H.J. Allen Turner (no. 196) for R. Meinertzhagen. From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, the type with the above data was said to be in the Rothschild Collection; this is the only female, and the only specimen with that date, that came to AMNH.

Meinertzhagen (1920: 24) did not state the range or say how many specimens he had, but he listed measurements of males and females. There are seven probable paratypes, Kenya specimens of goodsoni collected before 1920, that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection: AMNH 571393–571399.
