(?) 733. Argya sharpii Ogilvie-Grant & Reid = Crateropus ruhiginosus sharpii ?. 

 Argya sharpii Ogjlvie-Grant & Reid, Ibis, 1901. p. 662 (Shebelli). 



Type : ^ ad., Shebelli, 27.viii. 1894. Dr. A. Donaldson Smith leg. No. 201. 



Though much larger, this specimen agrees in other ways perfectly with 

 Crateropus (Argya) rvbiginosus ruhiginosus, and it was rash to describe it as 

 " new species " from this one specimen. Without further material it cannot 

 be ascertained whether this is a distinct subspecies or an exceptionally large 

 specimen. 



734. Crateropus caudatus altirostris Hart. = Crateropus {Argya) altirostris. 

 Crateropus cavdatus altirostris Hartert, Vog. pal. Fauna, p. 623 (1909 — " An der Nordspitze des 

 Persischen Golfs, au der Miindung des vereinigten Euphrat und Tigris "). 



Type : Fao, 1893. W. D. Gumming leg. 



Though very much like G. (Argya) caudatus huttoni, this form must be regarded 

 as a separate species, because a form of C. caudatus occurs together with it, in 

 the same region. 



735. Crateropus plebeius kikuyuensis Neum. = Crateropus pleheius hihiyuensis. 

 Crateropus pleheius kikuyuensis Neumann, Om. Monatsber. 1906. p. 7 ("' Kikuyu "). 



Type : $ ad.. Escarpment station, Kikuyu Mts., February 1901, 6,500 feet. 

 William Doherty leg. 



This form is very closely allied to C. p. emini Neum. from " Uniamwesi, 

 Lander am Tanganyka, Tabora, Usagara," but is slightly darker. It is also 

 close to C. p. hypostictus from Angola, but the latter is distinctly lighter in colour. 



736. Crateropus smithi lacuum Neum. = Crateropus leucopygius lacuum. 

 Crateropus smithi lacuum Neumann, Bull. B.O. Club, xiv. p. 15 (1903 — " The Lake Valley south of 



Shea, from Lake Zuai to Lake Gandjule, and the mountain-slopes east of that valley "). 



Tjrpe : c? ad., Alelu, north of Lake Abassi, 9.xii.l900. Oscar Neumann 

 leg. No. 331. 



737. Crateropus smithi omoensis Neum. = Crateropus leucopygius omoensis. 



Crateropus smithi omoensis Neumann, Bull. B.O. Chib, xiv. p. 15 (1903 — " The countries of the Omo 

 System — ^Uba, Gofa, Doko, Malo, and Kafia, and also the head-waters of the Gelo River, Biaescho 

 and Schecho "). 



Type: ^ ad., Senti River between Uba and Gofa, 30. i. 1901. Oscar 



Neumann leg. No. 713. 



(Cf. also Journ. f. Dm. 1904, p. 553, 1906, pp. 261, 262.) 



C. I. lacuum is nearest to C. I. smithi and stands between the latter and 



omoensis, but is constant and well distinguishable from both. Only one specimen 



of C. I. lacuum, No. 391, approaches C. I. omoensis. 



738. Crateropus tenebrosus Hartl. = Crateropus tenebrosus. 

 Crateropus tenebrosus Hartlaub, Journ. f. Om. 1883. p. 426 (Kudurma) ; id. Zool. Jahrb. 1887. p. 313, 

 Type: ^ ad., Kudurma, S.E. Bahr-el-Ghazal, 10.xi.l882. Emin Pasha 

 leg. No. 260.
