1 94. Ploceus holoxanthus Hartl. = Ploceus (Hyphantornis) aureoflavus aureoflavus. 



Ploceus holoxanthus Hartlaub, Ahh. not. Ver. Bremen, 1891. p. 22 (Mtoni on the Kingani River, 

 E. Africa). 



Type : 3 ad., Mtoni, January. Bohndorff leg. 



In NoviTATES ZoOLOGiCAB, 1907, p. 499, I expressed my opinion that 

 P. holoxanthus could hardly be the same as aureoflavus. Zedlitz, Journ. f. Orn. 

 1916, pp. 20, 21, has examined more material and came to the conclusion that 

 the so-called holoxanthus were only extreme yellow males, flavisms, as he calls 

 it. As I have no series to form an opinion, I can only accept Count Zedlitz's 

 view. 



f 95. Ploceus lubiginosus cinnamominus Hart. = Ploceus (Melanopteryx) 



rubiginosus trothae. 

 Ploceus rubiginosus cinnamominus Hartert, Bull. B.O. Glub, xxi. p. 11 (1907 — S. Angola). 



Type: S ad., Kimukua, Mossamedes, 14.iii. 1906. Dr. W. J. Ansorge 

 leg. No. 1436. 



This excellent subspecies had already been named trothae by Reichenow 

 in 1905. 



96. Malimbus malimbica melanobrephos Hart. = Malimbus malimbicus 



melanobrephos. 



Malimbus malimbica melanobrephos Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1907. p. 491 (" Upper Guinea from Liberia 

 to the Gold Coast and Togo "). 



Type : <? ad., Gold Coast (Fanti preparation) (No. 719). 



97. Malimbus malimbicus crassirostris subsp. nov. 

 Formae MaKvibus malimbicus malimbicus dictae persimiUs, sed rostro crassiore facile distinguendus. 



I have only one adult male, one apparently adult female, arid a young bird 

 from Budongo Forest, Unyoro. All three are at once distinguishable by the thicker 

 beak, which appears more swollen, much wider at base, especially between the 

 nostrils. (Possibly the sincipital crest is more pointed and longer, but a series 

 would be necessary to prove this.) 



Type : 3 ad., Budongo Forest, Unyoro, 17. ii. 1907. L. M. Seth-Smith leg. 



98. Uraeginthus bengalus perpallidus Neum. = Uraeginthus bengalus perpallidus. 

 Uraeginthus bengalus perpallidus Neumann, Journ. f. Orn. 1905. p. 361 (White Nile). 



Type: <? ad. 15. or 16. vi. 1901 (not 14. or 15.), at Goz-abu-Guma or 

 Kaka, Upper White Nile. Oscar Neumann leg. 



This form is very distinct, but specimens from Gondokoro (Seth-Smith) 

 are already distinctly darker, though by no means like ugandae. 



99. Uraeginthus bengalus schoanus Neum. = Uraeginthus bengalus schoanus. 



Uraeginthus bengalus schoanus Neumann, Journ. f. Orn. 1905. p. 350 (" Gebirge Sohoas und Slid — 

 " Athiopiens in Hohen von 2,200-3,000 m."). 



Type: <J ad., Ejere, Province Meta, Shoa, 16. ix. 1900. Oscar Neumann 



leg. No. 14.
