Remarks: In the original description no type was designated.All the listed specimens are referred to as examined material (characterized by their collecting data) in the description and are thus regarded as syntypes. Sclater (1930: 382) noted under Phyllastrephus capensis suahelicus Reichenow, 1904 “type in Berlin from Msua”. This cannot be considered the designation of a lectotype ( ICZN 1999), as it was not stated that the specimen was selected from the series as given in the original description.
