Campephaga rothschildi Neumann

Campephaga rothschildi Neumann, 1907b: 594 (Gmezo im Borana Land).

Now Campephaga phoenicea (Latham, 1790) . See Peters et al., 1960: 205, and Keith et al., 1992: 264.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 562996 , adult male, collected at Gmezo, Borana tribal area, Ethopia, on 24 May 1905, by Baron Maurice de Rothschild. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The description was based on this single, formerly mounted specimen. Hartert (1922b: 375) noted that it is a specimen of the yellow­shouldered morph of C. phoenicea .

Borana is shown by Neumann (1902, map) as an area just to the east of Lake Stefanie (ca. 04°40′N, 36°50′E [ Seltzer, 1962: 1824]) and south of the Sagan River. Baron Maurice de Rothschild (1922) published the results of his trip and also showed Borana (map on p. 1017).
