Abstract
We provide suggested errata vis-à-vis Mandiwana-Neudani TG, Little RM, Crowe TM, Bowie RCK. 2019. Taxonomy, phylogeny and biogeography of African spurfowls Galliformes, Phasianidae, Phasianinae, Coturnicini: Pternistis spp. Ostrich 90(2): 145–172. Firstly, the name fischeri was incorrectly applied to the southern subspecies of P. hildebrandti. The correct name is johnstoni. This taxon is 3.2% (not 0.5%) genetically divergent from P. h. hildebrandti. Secondly, contra Hall [Hall BP. 1963. The francolins, a study in speciation. Bulletin of the British Museum of Natural History (Zoology) 10: 105–204], P. leucoscepus is not distributed continuously from Eritrea to Tanzania. The northern, nominate subspecies P. l. leucoscepus appears to be confined to Eritrea and north-eastern Ethiopia.
