Hyphanturnis diinidiatus Salvad. & Antin. Alti R. Ac. 

 Torino, 1873, p. 360 : Kassala; Shelley, B. A. iv. p. 436. 



The type of this species was procured by Antinori at 

 Kassala in September 1871, and there are examples in the 

 British Museum from Wadelai (Emin) and from other 

 localities farther south, but it has never been found between 

 the type locality and the Lake district, nor are there any 

 examples in the collections we are now examining. It seems 

 probable, therefore, that there was some mistake about the 

 type locality and the bird is not a Sudanese form at all.
