Cyanomitra cyanolaema octaviae Amadon

Cyanomitra cyanolaema octaviae Amadon, 1953: 427 (Efulen, Cameroons).

Now Cyanomitra cyanolaema octaviae Amadon, 1953 . See Fry et al., 2000: 170–172, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 259.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 690129 , adult female, collected at Evouma (5 Efulén), 02.46N, 10.43E ( USBGN, 1962: 67), Cameroon, on 21 May 1903, by G.L. Bates (no. 160). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Amadon cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed the specimens for which he gave measurements. I have found all of these specimens and three immatures and a female, which Amadon did not measure. As all of them were at AMNH when Amadon published octaviae, I consider them paratypes: southern Nigeria, AMNH 690133–690138 , four males, two females ; Gabon, AMNH 345113 , 690125–690127 , two males, one immature male, one female ; Cameroon, AMNH 690130 , 690131 , one male, one female ; Congo (Kinshasa), AMNH 161629–161636 , 258629–258631 , 263808 , 345134 , 410067 , 410068 , 690117–690119 , 12 males, one immature male, five females ; Angola, AMNH 387922 , 690114–690116 , three males, one female ; Uganda, AMNH 690012 , 690045 , 690121–690124 , three males, one immature male, two females .
