2146 [1582]. Malaysian Fireback Lophura rufa (Raffles, 1822)

Listedȱ twiceȱ byȱ Rafflesȱ (1822),ȱ theȱ maleȱ asȱ Phasianus ignitus Latham, the name Stanley used for a male specimen in 1825, and the female (described as a male) under a new name, Phasianus rufus . The taxon was listed solely as Gallus ignitus (presumably sensu lato) byȱ Vigorsȱ (Rafflesȱ 1830).ȱ Theȱ populationȱ onȱ Sumatraȱ isȱ recognisedȱ asȱ aȱ speciesȱ byȱ someȱ taxonomiesȱ(delȱHoyoȱ&ȱCollarȱ2014)ȱunderȱRaffles’ȱnameȱ‘ rufa ’, distinct from Lophura ignita (sensu stricto). There are two depictions of the male among the post- Fame drawings (NHD 47.43 and NHD 47.44; Noltie 2009; Figs. 5–6), one, or both (if highly stylised), of which could represent Stanley’s specimen. The existence of a number in Moore’s stock books suggests the specimen was part of the bequest but has been lost post-1851.
