(?) 564. Apalis flavida malensis Neum. = Apalis (Euprinodes) fiavida malensis ? 



Apalia flavida malensis Neumann, Orn. Monatsber, 1905, p. 78 (" Gebiet nordlioh des Rudolf-und 

 Stefanie-Sees "). 



Type : ^, " Schambala-Fluss, Male-Land," 21. i. 1901. Oscar Netimann leg. 

 No. 631. 



Zedlitz (Journ. f. Orn. 1916, p. 90), who has seen 5 males and 2 females, 

 recognizes this form, but I am doubtful if it should not be united with fiavocincta ! 

 Zedlitz's description is not convincing, moreover he compares malensis with 

 " malensis," but I suppose he meant to say fiavocincta. 



565. Apalis nigriceps collaris van Som. == Apalis nigriceps collaris.
