Broadbills (Eurylaimidae)
Green Broadbill (Calyptomena viridis) - HBW 8, p. 84
French: Eurylaime vert
German: Smaragdbreitrachen
Spanish: Eurilaimo Verde
Other common names: Lesser Green Broadbill
Taxonomy: Calyptomena viridis Raffles, 1822, Bengkulu District, south-west Sumatra.
Distinctive race siberu may warrant species status. Birds from S Myanmar S to C Malay Peninsula described as race continentis, but indistinguishable from earlier-named taxon caudacuta. Bornean population possibly separable as race gloriosa, but existing museum specimens too old and faded for assessment, and insufficient recent material available for examination. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- caudacuta Swainson, 1838 - S Myanmar (Tenasserim), SW Thailand and Malay Peninsula, including islands of Rah and Phuket; formerly also Singapore, and probably Pinang I.
- viridis Raffles, 1822 - Sumatra, Nias I, Batu Is, Lingga Archipelago, N Natuna Is and Borneo.
- siberu Chasen & Kloss, 1926 - Mentawai Is (Siberut, North Pagai, South Pagai).
