This species is distinguished from Rimator malacoptilus, 
the only other member of the genus, which is not known 
as yet east of Manipur, by its darker colouration and con- 
siderably larger size. Little is known of the habits of the 
genus, but the Sikkim and Manipur bird is supposed to be 
largely terrestrial in habits whereas, if our Dyak collector 
is correct, as there is no reason to doubt, the present bird is 
found high on trees, running along the trunks, though its soft 
and short tail does not support the statement. Further 
material and information are much needed.

This Nun Thrush is apparently rare in Sumatra, as this 
specimen was the only one met with. In the Malay Peninsula 
it is one of the commonest of submontane birds, being 
replaced at higher levels by A. peracensis, Sharpe, which has 
apparently no representative in Sumatra.
