Popis: Giraffa giraffa wardi Lydekker, 1904 Giraffa infumata Noack, 1903: 356. Diagnosis Irregular spots, spots on the side of the face restricted to the region below and behind the eyes, two ES in the Cytb gene: 634 C=>T, 705 A=>G. Type material Holotype SOUTH AFRICA • 1 specimen (mounted head and neck); NHMUK-1903.11.18.1. Distribution Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa (holotype), Zambia, Zimbabwe. Remarks The holotype is given by Lydekker (1914) under the collection number NHMUK - 1903.11.18.1, but this catalogue number leads to a fish specimen (Pomatomus telescopus Risso, 1810) on the collection website (https://data.nhm.ac.uk/dataset/collection-specimens/resource/05ff2255-c38a-40c9-b657- 4ccb55ab2feb/record/3124756). However, two other specimens of wardi can be found in the museum collection (NHMUK-1903.11.17.1 and NHMUK-1903.11.17.3), one of which might be considered the neotype if the holotype cannot be found.
