This species is nearest to JD. stercoracea Maingay, bat in a note by Maingay 

 himself it is remarked that, wViile this is the case, the two are very distinct. This 

 has no trace of the foetid odour characteristic of D. stercoracea. The two species 

 have been confused by Mr. Baker and myself with each other and also with 

 D. Junghuhnii. Miquel, whose specimens I have seen, has named this D. discolo¥ ; 

 it is, however, very unlike the Bornean species so named by Blume, and previously 

 described by Miquel himself under Blume's name.
