Cinnyris alinae vulcanorum Hartert

Cinnyris alinae vulcanorum Hartert, 1920a: 426 (Vorberge der westlichen Kivu-Vulkane, im Urwald, 2,400 m.).

Now Cyanomitra alinae tanganjicae (Reichenow, 1915) . See Fry et al., 2000: 174–175, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 260.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 690101 , adult male, collected in the foothills of the western Kivu volcanoes, in primary forest, 2400 m, Congo (Kinshasa), on 26 August 1907, by Rudolf Grauer (no. 1107). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert gave Grauer’s unique field number of the holotype and said that he had collected 14 adult males, three females, and three young on the western Kivu Volcanoes, at Karissimbi and west of Baraka. He added that ‘‘I have adopted the name proposed in MS. in the Tring Museum and the type selected by Professor Neumann, who failed to publish the name and description.’’ Hartert apparently had 20 specimens in addition to the holotype, all collected by Grauer in eastern Congo (Kinshasa) in 1907 and 1908 ; paratypes are: AMNH 690088–690100 , 690102– 690108 . AMNH 200042 , collected by Grauer west of Lake Tanganyika in March 1910, was never part of the Rothschild Collection, having been purchased by AMNH from NMW .
