Lioptilus rufocinctus Rothschild, 1908: 6 (Rugege Forest, southeast of Lake Kivu).

Now Kupeornis rufocinctus ( Rothschild, 1908) View in CoL . See Fry et al., 2000: 69, 70.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 588890 About AMNH , adult female, collected in the Rugege Forest , Rwanda, on 16 December 1907, by Rudolf Grauer (no. 1692). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Grauer’s field number of the holotype was given in the original description. Rothschild (1908: 7) noted that Grauer sent five specimens, all collected in the Rugege Forest in December 1907, only four of which came to AMNH. The three paratypes in AMNH are AMNH 588891–588893, one female and two males.

Deignan (1964b: 413) retained rufocinctus in Lioptilus . The Rugege Forest is now called Nyungwe Forest, ca. 028299S, 298119E (R. Dowsett, personal commun., and Dowsett, 1990).
