Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Bocage (1872) distinguished between two vari¬ 
eties: var. A, which corresponds to specimens 
with a uniform color collected at “Duque de 
Braganga” [= Calandula] and var. B from the 
“Huilla Plateau.” He later (Bocage 1895a) sep¬ 
arated the uniform specimens from those from 
throughout the rest of the species range. Laurent (1964a) described bayonii huilensis from 
“Boca de Humpata, environs de Sa da Bandeira.” This subspecies, based on a single juvenile spec¬ 
imen, has never been critically assessed, and although it may warrant recognition, we have here 
lumped all literature records to both it and the nominotypical form pending further research. The 
record from “S. Salvador do Congo” is out of the expected species range and probably represents 
a misidentification.
