Corythaix Fischeri Reichenow, 1878a: 88 .

Now: Tauraco fischeri fischeri (Reichenow, 1878) . See Reichenow (1902a: 44); Peters (1940: 6).

Holotype: ZMB 23372 (B 15062, Fischer no. 149), skin, former mount, collected in the Witu forest , 16.11.[1877].

Type locality: Wito [Witu forest, Lamu County, Kenya], from the original description as well as locality of the holotype .

Remarks: In the original description no type was chosen, and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for one specimen and the locality “Wito” were given. Therefore, ZMB 23372 is regarded as the holotype. It was inventoried in 1878 with the note “ex originale”. Two other Fischer specimens of this species, ZMB 27413 (which arrived in Berlin in Mar 1884) and ZMH 7864 (collected in Nov 1878) arrived too late to be considered types, as the description was published in Jun 1878. Reichenow (1878b) mentioned male, female and juvenile in a sales list for this species, but their whereabouts are unknown.
