Validity of subspecies

[edit]

As this ref shows that the trinomen of ruwenzori colobus was Colobus angolensis ruwenzorii,[1] it was the work of Philip Briggs and Janice Booth in Rwanda book where they show that the trinomen of subspecies is Colobus angolensis ruwenzori.[2]Punetor i Rregullt5ALBAN (talk) 19:28, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ruwenzori mountains

[edit]

The article stated found in Nyungwe National Park “near Ruwenzori Mountains”. Being in southern Rwanda, the park is nowhere near the Ruwenzori Mountains, which are hundreds of kilometres north. Yes they are in the Nyungwe NP - I have observed them there numbers of times when I lived in Rwanda. What they have to do with the Ruwenzori Mountains I do not know. Perhaps a misnomer? I have changed this to “in Rwanda” Ptilinopus (talk) 05:03, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
