Turtur perspicillata G.A. Fischer & Reichenow, 1884b: 179 .
Now: Streptopelia decipiens perspicillata (G.A. Fischer & Reichenow, 1884) . See Peters (1937: 94).
Syntype: ZMB 27403 View Materials (B 18676, Fischer no. 780), skin, former mount, male, collected in “Nguruman, Massailand”, 21.04.[18]83 .
Syntype: ZMH 8316 View Materials (Fischer no. 742), skin, former mount, male, collected on the “Ronga-Flüsschen”, 27.03.[18]83 .
Type locality: “Massailand (Nguruman)”, from the original description, ascertained as Nguruman [Nguruman, Kajiado County, Kenya] and “Ronga-Flüsschen” [Ronga River, Arusha Region, Tanzania] as localities of the syntypes (compare Peters 1937: 94).
Remarks: In the original description no type was chosen, and no inventory numbers for specimens were provided, but measurements for more than one were given. The measurements are identical with those given in Fischer (1884) for the specimens nos. 742 and 780, so ZMB 27403 and ZMH 8316 are regarded as syntypes.Another Fischer specimen (ZMB 2000.10644) was collected in 1885, too late to have been included in the description, and so is not regarded as a type specimen. ZMB 27403 was inventoried in Mar 1884 with the note “ex originale” (exemplum originale, type specimen). ZMH 8316 was mentioned as type specimen for this species in Bolau (1898). We ascertain the type locality as “Nguruman” [Nguruman, Kajiado County, Kenya] and “Ronga-Flüsschen” [Ronga River, Arusha Region, Tanzania], the localities of the syntypes. Peters (1937) incorrectly restricted the type locality to “Nguruman” [Nguruman, Kajado County, Kenya], by not including the locality of the second syntype.
