Description
Lamprocolius sycobius pestis van Someren
Lamprocolius sycobius pestis van Someren, 1921c: 124 (Samburu).
Now Lamprotornis chalybaeus sycobius (Hartlaub, 1859). See van Someren, 1922a: 131, Hartert, 1928: 192; Sclater, 1930: 657; Amadon, 1962a: 95; Zimmerman et al., 1999: 512; Fry et al., 2000: 603–606; Dickinson, 2003: 656; Craig and Feare, 2009: 752.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 668696, adult male, collected at Samburu, 03.46S, 39.16E (Polhill, 1988), Kenya, on 18 October 1917. From the V.G.L. van Someren Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, van Someren noted that his type from Samburu, collected on 18 October 1917, was in the Rothschild Collection and that he included specimens from Mombasa, Samburu, Maungu, and N’di in pestis. The holotype and three paratypes, all from Samburu, came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection: AMNH 668695, 668697, 668698, two males, one female, 23–27 July 1918. There is one paratype in RMCA (Louette et al., 2002: 72).
