Babblers (Timaliidae)
Temminck's Babbler (Pellorneum pyrrogenys) - HBW 12, p. 193
French: Akalat de Temminck
German: Rostwangen-Erdtimalie
Spanish: Tordina de Temminck
Taxonomy: Myiothera pyrrogenys Temminck, 1827, Bantam Province, Java.
Has been thought possibly to form a superspecies with P. tickelli, presumably including P. buettikoferi. Proposed race besuki (from E Java) considered inseparable from nominate. Individuals of this species observed in N & S Borneo (E Sabah and S Kalimantan) apparently not assigned to race. Four subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- canicapillus ( Sharpe, 1887) - N Borneo (W Sabah).
- longstaffi ( Harrisson & Hartley, 1934) - NW Borneo (E & NE Sarawak and adjacent Kalimantan).
- erythrote ( Sharpe, 1883) - W Borneo (SW Sarawak and adjacent Kalimantan).
- pyrrogenys ( Temminck, 1827) - Java.
