Sporopipes frontalis loitanus van Someren, 1919: 54(Loita). Now Sporopipes frontalis eminiNeumann, 1900. See Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 30; Zimmerman et al., 1999: 533; Dickinson, 2003: 719; Fry and Keith, 2004: 64–65; and Craig, 2010: 137.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 722610, adult female (not male, as in original description), collected at Loita, ca. 01.40S, 35.40E( Polhill, 1988), Kenya, on 8 July 1918. Fromthe V.G.L. van Someren Collectionvia the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Inthe original description, van Somerensaid that the type, with the above data, was in the Rothschild Collectionand that 18 specimenswere collected. Fouradditional specimens from the V.G.L. van Someren Collection, collected before the publication of loitanus, came to AMNH. I consider them paratypes: Loita, AMNH 722609, male, 10 July 1918, collected by A. Blayney Percival; Kacheliba, AMNH 722617, male, AMNH 722618, female, 11 June 1917; Maktau, AMNH 722619, male, 23 June 1918. Hartert did not list this holotypein any of his lists of types in the Rothschild Collection. PLOCEINAE
