Ploceus rubiginosus cinnamominus Hartert, 1907b: 11 (Kimukua, Mossamedes, South Angola).

Now Ploceus rubiginosus trothae Reichenow, 1905 View in CoL . See Hartert, 1919: 140; Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 50; Dickinson, 2003: 722; Fry and Keith, 2004: 177–179; and Craig, 2010: 158–159.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 724289 View Materials , adult male, collected at Kimakua (= Kimukua), Huíla, southern Angola, on 14 March 1906, by W.J. Ansorge (no. 1436). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Ansorge’s unique number of the holotype in the original description and referred to both males and females. He gave the range as ‘‘Mossamedes and Benguella, apparently also Damaraland’ ’ (citing literature) in southern Angola. The following specimens came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection and are paratypes: Benguela, Kalahanga , AMNH 724287 View Materials (Ansorge no. 413), female, AMNH 724288 View Materials (412) male, 7 February 1905 ; Huíla, Kimakua , AMNH 727290–727295 View Materials (426, 427, 428, remainder without numbers), males, 14 March 1906 ; Malambelo , AMNH 727296 View Materials (610), male [immature], 29 April 1906 ; Chahivi , AMNH 727297 View Materials (–), male [immature], AMNH 727298 View Materials (615), AMNH 727299 View Materials (–), females, all 30 April 1906 .

Dean (2000: 378) noted that Kimakua was between Cahama, 16.17S, 14.18E, and Humbe, 16.40S, 14.55E, now in Huíla Province. The date of publication of cinnamominus was mistakenly given as 1908 by Moreau and Greenway (1962: 50).
