Psalidoprocne orientalis oleaginea Neumann

Psalidoprocne orientalis oleaginea Neumann, 1904b:

144 (Kaffa).

Now Psalidoprocne pristoptera oleaginea Neumann ,

1904. See Keith et al., 1992: 131.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 560932 , adult male, collected at Schubba , Kefa , Ethiopia, on 11 April 1901, by Oscar Neumann (no. 1081). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Neumann (1904b: 144) listed the type of this taxon as a specimen with the above data but did not give his field number or state that it was in the Rothschild Collection, nor did he say how many specimens he had. The above specimen is the only one of this taxon that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, and Hartert (1922b: 377), by citing Neumann’s field number, designated it the lectotype. Schubba is near Anderacha, 07°11′N, 36°17′E (Times Atlas), which Neumann (1904b: 324) visited on 5–9 April 1901.

Sibley and Monroe (1990: 581) treated oleaginea as a species in the superspecies pristoptera .
