Nectarinia pulchella lucidipectus Hartert

Nectarinia pulchella lucidipectus Hartert, 1921a: 123 (Wad Medani, Blue Nile).

Now Cinnyris pulchellus pulchellus (Linnaeus, 1766) . See Fry et al., 2000: 258–261, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 283.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 690921 , adult male, collected at Wad Medani , 14.24N, 33.30E (Times Atlas), Blue Nile, Sudan, on 25 July 1909, by Stanley S. Flower (no. 856). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated as his holotype Flower’s specimen no. 856 and listed other specimens of lucidipectus from many localities. A large number of specimens identified as lucidipectus by Hartert came to AMNH, but I have considered as paratypes only those specimens from localities specifically mentioned as well as all of P.P.C. Zaphiro’s Ethiopian specimens, although Hartert approximated ‘‘a dozen males.’’ Paratypes are: Kibero, male, AMNH 690873 ; Nimule , males, AMNH 690875 , 690876 ; Gondokoro , male, AMNH 690877 ; Lado , male, AMNH 690878 ; Kobua River, Lake Rudolf , males, AMNH 690884 , 690885 ; Lake Stephanie , male, AMNH 690886 ; Lake Abaya , male, AMNH 690887 ; near Gelo River, two males and one female, AMNH 690890–690892 ; Zaphiro Ethiopian specimens, 13 males and two females, AMNH 690893–690907 ; Roseires , male, AMNH 690920 ; Barankwa , males, AMNH 690923 , 690924 .
