Boulengerula uluguruensis Barbour and Loveridge 1928

Memoirs of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, 50:183.

Paratypes (2): PEM A 2947–2948 (formerly both AM 6011); Vituri, Uluguru Mountains, Tanzania; A. Loveridge, 30 October 1926.

Remarks. The type description lists a total of 40 specimens collected from the Uluguru Mountains from 20 September – 30 October 1926. It clearly states that MCZ A-12367 is designated as the holotype and the remainder as paratypes, all in the MCZ. Subsequently, paratypes were exchanged to other institutions, i.e. four to AMNH, three to FMNH (Marx 1958), one each to SMF, UIMNH (Smith et al. 1964), BMNH, and the Congo Museum. The MCZ online database shows that two paratypes (MCZ A-12377 and A-12378) were sent in exchange to Hewitt at the AMG, before subsequently being transferred to PEM. Both specimens have a longitudinal ventral incision.
