14.66667] (Ferreira 1904:116). Kwanza Sul: “Congulu” [-10.86667, 14.28333] (Parker 1936:139; 
Brygoo and Roux-Esteve 1983:312; Wagner and Schmitz 2006:184). Undetermined locality: 
“Mayumba” (Bocage 1887a: 179); “Schinga” (Brygoo and Roux-Esteve 1983:312). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: Boulenger (1887) mistakenly cited both syntype spec¬ 
imens from “Angola.” Brygoo and Roux-Esteve (1983) reviewed the history of the types and pro¬ 
vided a point locality map for the species’ global range. 
Feylinia elegans (Hallowell, 1852) Elegant Feylinia 
Acontias elegans Hallowell 1852a:64, fig. p. 64. Type: ANSP 9456, 9667 [2 speeimens] (eolleetor H.A. Ford). 
Type loeality: “Liberia, West Coast of Afriea” (Hallowell 1852a:65) [“probably in error for Gabon” 
Loveridge (1957)]. 
Anelytrops elegans: Boeage (1866b:214, 1867e:227, 1870:57). 
Feylinia Currori: Boeage (1873b:214). 
Feylinia eurrori: Boulenger (1887:431). 
Feylinia elegans: Sehmidt (1919:605), de Witte and Laurent (1942b: 108, 1943:36), Brygoo and Roux-Esteve 
(1983:317), Chirio and LeBreton (2007:234). 
Feylinia eurrori elegans: Loveridge (1933:328, 1957:223). 
Global conservation status (lUCN): Not Evaluated. 
Global distribution: Is a typical Central African forest species, occurring in savannas with 
western affinities, from Gabon, through Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo 
to northern Angola. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 200): The 
species is known from some restricted areas in 
the north of the country (e.g., extreme north of 
Zaire Province; northwestern regions of Lunda 
Norte Province) including the Cabinda enclave. 
Cabinda: “Cabinda” [-5.55000, 12.18333] 
(Bocage 1866b:214). Namibe: “Mossamedes” 
[-15.20000, 12.15000] (Bocage 1867c:227) [in 
error]. 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Feylinia elegans was originally described by 
Hallowell (1852a) as Acontias elegans with its 
holotype from “Liberia,” and then redescribed 
as Sphenorhina elegans (Hallowell, 1857) 
based on two specimens from “Gaboon.” 
Schmidt (1919) subsequently identified ANSP 
9456 as the holotype and Loveridge (1957) 
explained the discrepancy m locality, which s & 
applies to other taxa collected by Ford and reported upon by Hallowell. The species was tentative¬ 
ly referred to the synonymy of Feylinia currori Gray, 1845 by several early workers (e.g., Bocage 
1873b; Boulenger 1887), although Schmidt (1919) recognized F. elegans as specifically distinct.
