Type locality

Ankarampotsy / Tantamala, Madagascar.

Current status

Valid species.

Remarks

Villiers (1939) distinguished between type and cotypes, and therefore they should be interpreted as holotype and paratypes. The holotype and additional paratypes are deposited in MNHN.

Type localities

Mayumba and Pujehun, Sierra Leone.

Current status

Synonym of Zographus regalis regalis (Brown, 1776) .

Remarks

All paratypes of Le Moult’s subspecies and aberrations of Z. regalis were found combined in one drawer without separation or indication to which name they belong. The single specimen (ZMH 843920) can be confidently assigned to the Z. regalis poleti s. str. since the nominal form of this subspecies was described from Mayumba and Pujehun. The aberrations viridisparsus, viridiventris and viridicollis are from Mayumba only. Thirty further specimens labelled with Mayumba, Sierra Leone, do not bear a paratype label but they might also be paratypes.
