 It is difficult to believe that "Cyrtostomus pectoralis blanfordi" Stuart 

 Baker, 1921, from Kondul (an islet just off Great Nicobar), can be anything 

 but a synonym of klossi (a name apparently unknown to Baker), especially 

 since "blanfordi" and klossi seem to be based upon the same characters.
