Indicator maculicollis Sundevall, 1850: 109 .

VERBATIM TYPE LOCALITY: “ ♂ ♀ in Caffraria inferiore inventi ” .

CURRENT STATUS: Synonym of Indicator variegatus Lesson, 1831 ; Indicatoridae ( Dickinson & Remsen 2013: 294) (monotypic, includes Indicator variegatus jubaensis Neumann, 1908 , pseudonymus Clancey, 1977, dryas Clancey, 1979 and satyrus Clancey, 1979.

TYPE MATERIAL: Sundevall stated in his original description (1850: 109) that he had data for both male and female, and according to his acquisition catalogue, four specimens were available to him in 1850. Gyldenstolpe (1926: 79) referred to NRM 569752 [7413] as a “type”, which we treat as a lectotype designation of this adult female collected 30 June 1840 in Durban. The three paralectotypes are: NRM 569753 [7411], a male collected 30 May 1841 in Durban; NRM 534136 [7412], a mount of a male, collected 14 September 1840 in Durban; a female [4831], collected 20 July 1839 in Durban, sent on exchange to Berlin in 1853 (but probably no longer present in the ZMB collection).

VERIFIED TYPE LOCALITY: Durban , KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
