Corythaix Reichenowi G.A. Fischer, 1880a: 174 .

Now: Tauraco livingstonii reichenowi (G.A. Fischer, 1880) . See Reichenow (1902a: 53); but see also Peters (1940: 4).

Holotype: ZMB 24919 (B 16557), skin, former mount, male, collected in “Nguru-Berge”, [between 1877 and 1880].

Type locality: “ Nguru-Berge, tropisches Ost-Afrika” [Nguru Mts, Morogoro Region, Tanzania], from the original description. It is also the locality of the holotype .

Remarks: In the original description no type was chosen, and no inventory numbers for specimens were provided, but measurements for one specimen and the locality “Nguru-Berge” were given. Therefore ZMB 24919, which lacks a collector’s number, is regarded as the holotype, having been inventoried in 1880 with the note “ex originale”. As Fischer & Reichenow (1880a) listed only one specimen of Corythaix livingstoni (no. 417) from “Nguru Berge” (Nguru Mountains), this may be that specimen. Fischer & Reichenow (1880a) gave no collecting date, but there are specimens from that region only from May–Jun 1879. ZMB 24919 was believed collected by a local collector for Fischer.
