  • Pytelia phoenicoptera emini Hartert Pytelia phoenicoptera emini Hartert, 1899a: 413 (Lado). Now Pytilia phoenicoptera emini Hartert, 1899. See Hartert, 1919a: 143; Mayr et al., 1968: 312; Dickinson, 2003: 727; Fry and Keith, 2004: 352– 353; and Payne, 2010: 332. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 728593, adult male, collected at Lado, 05.10N, 31.32E (Times atlas), Sudan, on 14 June 1881, by Emin Pasha (no. 169). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: The single specimen in the Rothschild Collection with the above data was designated the holotype in the original description. A second specimen in BMNH ‘‘mentioned by Dr. Sharpe in Cat. B. Brit. Mus. v. XIII. p. 301, from Lado, agrees in every respect with the one in the [Rothschild Collection].’’ That specimen is a paratype of emini. Mayr et al. (1968: 312) synonymized emini with nominate P. phoenicoptera, but more recent authors have recognized it. Traylor (in Mayr et al., 1968: 312, fn.) chose the earlier spelling Pytilia for the generic name, and others have followed that spelling since.
