HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 725031
, male, collected at Soullouke´, Ethopia, on
22 August 1904
, on the Baron
Maurice
de Rothschild
expedition (no. 460). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Neumann had a single specimen when he named this form. It is an abberant individual (
Hartert, 1919: 145
), mostly yellow with white shafts to primaries and rectrices. The collecting locality is shown on the map in M.
de Rothschild (1922: 1017)
, but the longitudes given on that map are not correct.
