discussion
COMMENTS: Hartert based his description on a single male specimen from Yelwa, but said that another specimen from Rabba on the Niger in BMNH probably belonged to the same taxon. Hartert used the spelling Hypochaera in his description of H. wilsoni as a full species, not as a subspecies of H. furnerea as in Fry and Keith (2004: 439).
