Amblyospiza aethiopica

Quick answer

COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann listed his two specimens but did not designate a type. Later, Neumann (1905: 342) listed the male bearing his number 795 as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype of aethiopica. The paratype is AMNH 725371, female (not male, as in Neumann, 1905: 342), Anderatscha, Kaffa, Ethiopia, 17 March 1901, O. Neumann (no. 1019). I did not find the locality ‘‘ Uaja’ ’; howev- er, in his itinerary, Neumann (1904 c: 323), noted that he was at Banka, 06.33 N, 36.38 E (Ash and Atkins, 2009: 403), on 14 February 1901. Neumann (1902 b) wrote an account of his travels, with a map showing his itinerary, but it did not include all of his localities.
