Astrilda(sic) nonnula Hartlaub, 1883: 425(Kudurma). Now Estrilda nonnula nonnula Hartlaub, 1883. See Hartert, 1919a: 142; Mayr et al., 1968: 346; Dickinson, 2003: 731; Fry and Keith, 2004: 305– 307; Payne, 2010: 321–322.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 451799, immature female, collected at Kudurma, 04.45N, 29.35E( Chapin, 1954a), southern Bahrel- Ghazal, Sudan, on 12 November 1882, by Emin Pasha(5 Emin Bey) (no. 269). Fromthe Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartlaub described a single individual and said that it was an adult male, but the description applies to an immature bird. AMNH 451799 is an immature individual and matches the bird shown in Hartlaub (1887: 321, pl. 13). Emin’s female symbol, as usual, is an upside-down male symbol, probably misinterpreted by Hartlaub. Emin’s label has the name ‘‘ Habropyga nonnulaHartl.’’ written on it in a hand I do not recognize. It is the only Emin specimen of this form that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, and I measure the wing as 46 mm( 47 mmgiven by Hartlaub). Hartert (1919a: 142)considered it the type, adding Emin’s field number, which was not cited by Hartlaub. Types of all the other forms described at that time by Hartlaub (1883: 425–426)came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, so there seems to be no reason to doubt that this specimen is the holotype.
