Eremomela flaviventris saharae Stoneham

Eremomela flaviventris saharae Stoneham, 1925: 77 (Sahara Desert) .

Now Eremomela icteropygialis alexanderi Sclater and Mackworth-Praed, 1918 . See Watson et al., 1986a: 197, and Urban et al., 1997: 319.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 599353 , adult male, collected at Zinder, 13.46N, 08.58E (Times Atlas), Niger, on 4 February 1920, by A. Buchanan (no. 311). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Stoneham did not designate a type in the original description; Hartert (1928: 213) subsequently designated Buchanan’s specimen number 311 as the lectotype. Stoneham (1925: 77) said that there were nine specimens from the ‘‘Sahara Desert’’ in the Rothschild Collection, but Hartert (1928: 213) noted that Stoneham studied 11 specimens from Aïr, Damergu, and Zinder. The 10 paralectotypes are AMNH 599354– 599363 from Asben ( 5 Aïr), Damergu, and Zinder.
