| Abstract: | A new species of weaverbird, Ploceus victoriae , is described from Entebbe, Uganda. Its nearest relatives are Ploceus taeniopterus of northeast Zaïre, Sudan, Ethiopia and northwest Kenya, and Ploceus velatus , widespread through East Africa and across the Sahel to the Atlantic, but it differs in several morphological and behavioural characteristics. |
