100. Uraeginthus bengalus ugandae Zedl. = Uraeginthus bengalus ugandae. 



Uraeginihus bengalus ugandae Zedlitz, Joxtrn. j. Orn. 1911. p. 606 ("Uganda, Victoria. See bis 

 Gazellen-Fe "). 



Type : S ad., Entebbe, Uganda, 28. iv. 1907. Rud. Grauer leg. No. 76. 



This form is very closely allied to schoanus, which is probably really its 

 nearest neighbour, as another, probably unnamed form, seems to separate it 

 near Gondokoro from perpallidvs. Only when a scries is compared it becomes 

 evident that the upperside is darker, and the wing generally, but not always 

 longer. A specimen collected by Dr. van Someren has a wing of 54 mm. The 

 distribution of schoanus is possibly wider than knowTi at present, but Mearns 

 described (Smithson. Misc. Coll. Ivi. No. 20. p. 6. 1911 !) an Uraeginthus bengalus 

 hrunneigularis from Wambugu, because the females had a brown throat. It 

 almost seems as if this were the case, while adult Uganda females have the 

 throat blue. Unless the specimens with brown throats which Mearns examined 

 are all juvenile (as they are in Uganda, etc.), his subspecies hrunneigularis would 

 be quite distinct, but the males seem to me to be exactly like the Ugand;i males. 

 If not different from ugandae, then the name hrunneigularis would have priority 

 over uganlae ! Unfortunately ZedUtz overlooked Mearns's name. He also 

 gave another new name, " naialensis" but that form must be called cyanogaster 

 Daud. 



101. Estrilda atricapilla graueri Neum. = Estrilda atricapilla gratieri. 



Estrilda atricapilla jrauert Neumann, Bull. B.O. Club, xxi. p. 55 (1908 — " Western Kivu Volcanoes "). 

 Type: 3 ad., foot of Mt. Sabjinjo, 2,700 m., i.ix. 1907. In bambco- 

 forest. Rud. Grauer leg. No. 1136. 



102. Lagonosticta graueri Rothsch. = Estrilda cinereovinacca rudolfi, nom. nov. ! 

 Lagonosticta graueri Rothschild, Bull. B.O. Club, xxiii. p. 102 (1909 — -" Forest near Baiaka, north- 

 west of Lake Tanganyika, 1,900 metres"). 



Type; 3 ad., forest north-west of Baraka, 11. xi. 1908. Rud. Grauer 

 Coll. "No. 3767. 



I do not think that tlie genera Estrilda and Lagonosticta can be separated 

 at all, and even if they should be separable, cinereovinacea, of which graueri 

 Rothsch. is a subspecies, cannot be separated from Estrilda. If this view is 

 correct, a new name must be given to graueri Rothsch., because Neumann 

 named Estrilda atricapilla graueri in 1908. I propose for graueri Rothsch. 

 the new name : 



Estrilda cinereovinacea rudolfi 



derived from Grauer's Christian name. The type of this name would be the 

 same as that of graueri Rothsch. (The suspicion arises involuntarily, that this 

 is kandti Rchw. 1902, which may have been described from a young bird, but 

 the very short wing of the latter seems to exclude this possibility.) 



103. Estrilda Cinderella Neum. = Estrilda Cinderella. 



Estrilda Cinderella Neumann, Bull. B.O. Club, xxiii. p. 44 (1908 — Benguella). 



Type: cJ, Deep-Sloot, Benguella, 25. xi. 1905. W. J. Ansorge leg. No. 609. 



More information is badly wanted about this masculine Cinderella, of which, 

 it seems, only this one specimen is known. It is doubtless a very distinct form.
