French: Calobate de Borneo German: Laufkuckuck Spanish: Cuco Terrestre de Borneo
Other common names: Sunda/Green-billed/Malay Ground-cuckoo (with C. radiatus), Radiated Fruit-cuckoo

Taxonomy: Calobates radiatus Temminck, 1832, Pontianak district, western Borneo.
Usually treated as conspecific with C. viridis, but clearly larger and shows distinct plumage differences from latter at all ages. Often referred to as C. radiceus, but this name resulted from an error in the original description, subsequently (1838) emended by Temminck himself to C. radiatus. Monotypic.

Distribution: Borneo.
