-
Regarded as conspecific with M. lendu by the East African List Committee (D. A. Turner, pers. comm.).  Dowsett and Dowsett-Lemaire (1993, p. 363) note that it is "surprising" that Sibley and Monroe (1990) "recognise M. itombwensis as a good species, in spite of the fact that the describer ... had become convinced it was not separable ... probably related to M. lendu, though with M. olivascens to be considered." 
This statement is itself confusing!  Which is it?  This is an example of the problems that result from attempts to assign closely-related, allopatric populations to "species" or "subspecies".  It is left here as a "species" to call attention to this dilemma.
