Calamonastes Fischeri Reichenow, 1884a: 57 .

Now: Calamonastes simplex ( Cabanis, 1878) . See Reichenow (1905: 573); White (1962a: 718).

Holotype: ZMH 6907 (Fischer no. 698), skin, former mount, male, collected at “Panganifluss bei Pare”, 03.03.[18]83.

Paratype: ZMB 27384 (B 18617, Fischer no. 889), skin, former mount, male, collected at Nguruman, 25.06.[18]83 .

Type locality: “ Mittellauf des Panganiflusses” [ Middle reaches of the Pangani River , Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania], in the original description, here ascertained as “Panganifluss bei Pare” [Pangani River Valley, near South Pare Mts, Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania], as the locality of the holotype.

Remarks: In the original description no type was chosen and no inventory numbers for specimens were provided, but measurements for one individual and the locality “Mittellauf des Panganiflusses” (mid-Pangani River) were given. Fischer (1884) listed two specimens for this species (nos. 698, 889) with the localities Pare and Nguruman. As the measurements given in the original description fit ZMH 6907, which is no. 698 (Fischer 1884) with the same locality as in the description, this specimen is regarded as holotype. ZMB 27384 (no. 889) with the locality Nguruman is regarded as a paratype. ZMH 6907 was also mentioned as the type in Bolau (1898), with the wrong inventory number ZMH 6707 but the correct collector’s number. ZMB 27384 was inventoried in March 1884 with the note “ex originale”.
