Erythropygia vulpina Reichenow, 1891b: 62 .

Now: Cercotrichas leucophrys vulpina (Reichenow, 1891) . See Deignan et al. (1964: 20).

Syntype: ZMB 27511 (B 18616, Fischer no. 697), skin, former mount, male, collected at Pare (Pare Mountains), 03.03.[18]83 .

Syntype: ZMB 24830 (B 14857, Hildebrandt no. 195), skin, former mount, male, collected by J.M. Hildebrandt at Ndi, Teita, 07.[18]77 .

Type locality: “ Ndi in Teita” [Ndi, Teita-Taveta County, Kenya] and “Pare Gebirge” [ South Pare Mts , Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania], from the original description as well as localities of the syntypes .

Remarks: In the original description, no type was chosen and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, though the localities “Ndi in Teita” and “Pare Gebirge” together with the names of the collectors were given. As there are no other specimens of this species with that combination of locality and collector, ZMB 27511 and ZMB 24830 are syntypes for this species. Deignan et al. (1964: 20) gave as locality for this species “Ndi in Teita”.
