Broadbills (Eurylaimidae)

Long-tailed Broadbill (Psarisomus dalhousiae) - HBW 8, p. 89

French: Eurylaime psittacin German: Papageibreitrachen Spanish: Eurilaimo Lorito
Other common names: Yellow-throated Broadbill

Taxonomy: [Eurylaimus] Dalhousiae Jameson, 1835, Himalayas, at 10,000 feet [c. 3000 m], northern India; this altitude is above normal range and type probably from near Simla.
Variation within accepted races unclear and somewhat complex. In particular, birds from N Indochina (possibly also S China) with more white in collar are sometimes separated subspecifically as “assimilis”, while race divinus may be closer to latter or is possibly indistinguishable from some cyanicauda; Peninsular Malaysian birds, although included in psittacinus, are less distinctively patterned than Sumatran population and may be closer to nominate, or possibly represent an undescribed race. Further taxonomic study required. Five subspecies recognized.
