Now Emberiza affinis omoensis Neumann, 1905 View in CoL . See Hartert, 1919: 162, White, 1963: 97, Dowsett and Dowsett-Lemaire, 1993: 379, and Fry and Keith, 2004: 572–574.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 715690 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Schetie in Koscha , Ethiopia, on 28 February 1901, by Oscar Neumann (no. 934). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann designated as the type his specimen no. 934 and listed three additional specimens. The three paratypes are: AMNH 715691 About AMNH (Neumann no. 1209), male, Pokodj am Gelo , 11 May 1901 ; AMNH 715692 About AMNH (un-numbered), male, Gelo , April–May 1901 ; AMNH 715693 About AMNH (474), female, Tomato in Gudji , östlich des Abaya-Sees, 24 December 1900 .

I was unable to find the exact location of Schetie, but based on Neumann’s (1902) map and his itinerary ( Neumann, 1904:323), it appears that he crossed the Omo River in the vicinity of Singe ( 06.22N, 36.19E, Times Atlas) and that Koscha is the area just north of the Omo.
