Bulbuls (Pycnonotidae)
Orange-spotted Bulbul (Pycnonotus bimaculatus) - HBW 10, p. 189
French: Bulbul bimaculé
German: Goldzügelbülbül
Spanish: Bulbul Bimaculado
Taxonomy: Turdus bimaculatus Horsfield, 1821, Java.
Genus as currently constituted probably polyphyletic; in-depth analysis of morphology, voice, behaviour and genetics required to redefine its limits. This species may merit separation at genus level. As the type material originates from C (not E) Java, the name barat is a junior synonym of the nominate; the name tenggerensis must therefore be restored for the E Java race. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- snouckaerti Siebers, 1928 - NW Sumatra.
- bimaculatus (Horsfield, 1821) - SW Sumatra and W & C Java.
- tenggerensis (van Oort, 1911) - E Java.
