Cercopithecus flavidus Peters, 1852 View in CoL

Reise nach Mossambique, p. 3

Valid name: Chlorocebus pygerythrus (Cuvier, 1821) View in CoL

Holotype: ZMB 87561 [An 16319] male, skull, skeleton; Tete, Mozambique, collected by Peters, undated.

Comments: The description of Cercopithecus flavidus based on a single specimen from ”Quitangonha". Schwarz (1926, p.39) could not find the type in the Berlin collection. However, Matschie (1893, p. 213) noticed: “In unserer Sammlung hat sich, soweit die Kataloge urtheilen lassen, jemals weder ein ausgestopftes Exemplar noch ein Balg dieser Art befunden, welche als Original der von Peters […] aufgestellten Species betrachtet werden könnte; dagegen haben wir aus der früheren „Anatomischen Sammlung“, in welche ein grösserer Theil der von Peters gesammelten Objecte gelangt ist, ein Skelet übernommen mit der Bezeichnung: „No. 16319. Cercopithecus flavid us Ptrs. Männchen Mossambique, Peters“ [Translation: In our collection, as far as the catalogs can be judged, there has never been a stuffed specimen or a skin of this species, which could be considered an original of the species listed by Peters [...]; on the other hand, we have taken over a skeleton [skull?] from the earlier “Anatomical Collection”, into which a large part of the objects collected by Peters came, with the designation: “No. 16319. Cercopithecus flavidus Ptrs. , male Mozambique, Peters]“.
