HARPACTES KASUMBA KASUMBA (Raffles) 



Trogon kasumba Raffles, Trans. Linn. Soc. London, vol. 13, p. 282, 1822 (Su- 

 matra) . 



Dr. W. L. Abbott collected an adult male at the Riimpin River, 

 Pahang, June 14, 1902. 



No specimens from Sumatra are available for comparison, but 

 three adult males from Borneo average darker on the back, with the 

 white on the outer tail feathers less extensive. 



Trogon temminkii Gould ^^ is founded on Trogon fasciatus Tem- 

 minck ^^ and as the latter was evidently founded upon a Sumatra 

 specimen, it becomes a pure synonym of Raffles's name. 



The range of Harpactes kasumba kasumba is Sumatra and the 

 southern end of the Malay Peninsula, where it has been taken as far 

 north as Bangnara, Patani.^^ 



The form resembles Harpactes diardii negledus but may be distin- 

 guished by the scarlet instead of pink nape band and the pure white 

 tips to the outer tail feathers without any black stippling. 



The Bornean form has been separated by Chasen and Kloss ®^ as 

 Pyrotrogon kasumba impavidus. 



HARPACTES ORRHOPHAEUS ORRHOPHAEUS (Cabanis and Heine) 



Pyrotrogon orrhophaeus Cabanis and Heine, Museum Heineanum, Theil 4, Heft 1, 

 p. 156, 1863 (Malacca). 



One female, Tha Lo, Bandon, September 23, 1931. 



If this specimen does not belong to this species, I do not know where 

 to place it. It is not quite adult. It resembles the same sex of 

 Harpactes duvaucelii very closely but differs from a female of that 

 species of about the same age as follows: The breast and belly are 

 ochraceous-ta^\^ly, becoming yellow-ocher on the middle of the 

 abdomen and under tail coverts instead of Hght coral-red; the middle 

 tail feathers are without black tips; the buff bare on the wing coverts 

 are wider and farther apart; the back is somewhat darker; there are 

 no coral-red tips to the tail coverts; a few red feathers are coming in 

 on the ear coverts. Wing, 100; tail, 122 mm. 



The species is evidently rare, and not much is known concerning 

 it. Miiller ™ secured it near Puket; farther south in the Malay 

 States it has been collected oftener, probably because this part of the 

 Peninsula is better kno\vn. It ranges from the Federated Malay 

 States north through Peninsular Siam to Bandon.
