Treatment

Lioptilus abyssinicus ansorgei Rothschild, 1918: 78 (Mucuio (Kuvali river), Benguella).

Now Pseudoalcippe abyssinica abyssinica (Rüppell, 1840) View in CoL . See Fry et al., 2000: 29, 32, and Dickinson, 2003: 602.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 588859, adult female, collected at Mucuio, 138289S, 148449E ( Chapin, 1954: 706), Cuval (5 Kuvali) River (or Rio Cubal da Hanha, Chapin, 1954: 657), Angola, on 14 August 1904, by William J. Ansorge (no. 634). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Rothschild had only a male and a female specimen and designated the female as the type in the original description. The male paratype is AMNH 588860, collected on the same day. Deignan (1964b: 412) recognized ansorgei and included it in Alcippe abyssinica . Subsequent treatments are summarized in Fry et al. (2000: 29, 32) and Dickinson (2003: 602).
