1 Little is known about the distribution of the species of this genus in 
the Malay Peninsula, 
a We cannot separate D , e , neglecta. 
3 This species may only be a southern form of D . episcopus, but the birds 
look very different in the flesh and until we know more of their ranges in the 
Malay Peninsula and Sumatra it . seems best to keep them separate.
