Description

Hirundo dimidiata Sundevall, 1850: 107.

VERBATIM TYPE LOCALITY: “ E montibus Caffrariae superioris.”

CURRENT STATUS: Hirundo dimidiata dimidiata Sundevall, 1850; Hirundinidae (Dickinson & Christidis 2014: 480)

TYPE MATERIAL: Sundevall (1850: 107) gave no indication that he had more than a single specimen at hand for his type description, but according to his acquisition catalogue he had three specimens available. Gyldenstolpe (1926: 68) referred to NRM 569778 [7070] as a “type” which we treat as a lectotype designation of this adult male collected 28 June 1844 at Leroma (near Pilanesberg). The two paralectotypes are: NRM 555671 [7071], an adult female collected 18 November 1841 in the Magaliesberg; and RMNH. AVES.125115 [7069], an adult male collected 16 November 1841 in Magaliesberg, sent on exchange to Leiden in 1850.

VERIFIED TYPE LOCALITY: Leroma, near Pilanesberg, North West Province.

COMMENTS: See species account for Eremomela usticollis. There is no entry in the journal, but date and place are in line with other specimens collected at the same time.
