Cisticola chiniana victoria Lynes

Cisticola chiniana victoria Lynes, 1930: 264 , 671 (Kisumu, Victoria Nyanza).

Now Cisticola chiniana victoria Lynes, 1930 . See Parkes, 1987, and Urban et al., 1997: 159.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 593267 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Kisumu, 00.03S, 34.47E (Times Atlas), Kenya, on 13 December 1916, by V.G.L. van Someren. From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: van Someren (1922: 210) had identified his specimens as C. fischeri Reichenow. Lynes (1930: 264 , 671) found this identification to be incorrect and the specimens were left without a name. He supplied the name Cisticola chiniana victoria , designated as the type a male collected at Kisumu on 13 December 1916 by van Someren, and noted that it was in the Rothschild Collection. That specimen, now AMNH 593267, is the only Kisumu specimen collected on 13 December 1916 that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. As in the taxon above, this specimen bears a van Someren label, a Rothschild Collection label, and a blank BMNH type label, which has been filled in by Lynes. For the same reason as previously, it was not listed as a type by Hartert.

Lynes (1930: 265) noted that, as part of his type series, he had examined 22 specimens (including the type) in the Rothschild Museum, collected by Emin, V.G.L.van Someren, Cook and Turner (for Meinertzhagen); the 21 paratypes are: 593261–593266, 593268–593281, and 593284. Other paratypes listed by Lynes are in other institutions, including two in RMCA listed by Louette et al. (2002: 46) .
