Now Euplectes axillaris quanzae ( Hartert, 1903 ) . See Hartert, 1919: 145 ; Traylor, 1962: 125–126 ; Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 70 ; Craig, 1993b: 143–145 ; Dean, 2000: 318–319 ; Dickinson, 2003: 725 ; Fry and Keith, 2004: 242–244 ; and Craig, 2010: 150 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 726822 , adult male, collected at Barraca , 09.11S , 13.58E ( Dean, 2000: 370 ), Cuanza (= Quanza) River , Angola , on 28 May 1901 , by C. Hubert Pemberton (no. 561). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Hartert had the single specimen when he described quanzae . Moreau and Greenway (1962: 70) , Dean (2000: 318–319) and Dickinson (2003: 725) recognized quanzae as a subspecies of Eu- plectes axillaris , but Traylor (1962: 125) called attention to the larger size of specimens from the Cuanza River and raised the possibility that quanzae should perhaps be considered a full species. Craig (1993b: 144) , Fry and Keith (2004: 243) and Craig (2010: 150) synonymized it with E. axillaris bocagei (Sharpe, 1871) .
