Description

Pyrenestes ostrinus gabunensis Neumann

Pyrenestes ostrinus gabunensis Neumann, 1910: 528 (Lambarene, Ogowe).

Now Pyrenestes ostrinus (Vieillot, 1805). See Hartert, 1919a: 144; Chapin, 1954b: 490–494; Mayr et al., 1968: 319–320; Smith 1990: 381– 414; Dickinson, 2003: 728; Fry and Keith, 2004: 317–321; and Payne, 2010: 322.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 728310, female, Lambaréne´, 00.41S, 10.12E (Chapin, 1954a: 685),

Ogowe (5 Ogooue´, as on label) River, Gabon, on 22 September 1907, by W.J. Ansorge (no. 756). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Neumann, who noted in the original description that the type was in the Rothschild Collection, had a single female collected at Lambarene on 22 September 1907; Hartert (1919a: 144) cited Ansorge’s field number of the holotype. Neumann listed his type series; all of those that were in the Rothschild Collection are now in AMNH; there are six additional paratypes in ZMB. Paratypes in AMNH: Congo (Kinshasa), Manyanga, AMNH 728297, male, no date; Buta, Welle District, AMNH 728302, unsexed [male], 1906.

AMNH 728312, female from Lambarene is not labeled gabunensis and is not considered a paratype.
