When describing this bird in 1911 we had overlooked that it had already 

 been named in 1909, by Dr. van Oort. I would agree with Dr. van Oort in 

 considering this form a subspecies of erythropleura, but Mr. C. Boden Kloss has 

 collected both Ptiloprora praecipua lorentzi and what is apparently P. erythro- 

 pleura in the same places on the Utakwa River. (Cf. Ogilvie- Grant, Suppl. Ibis, 

 1915, p. 76).
