COMMENTS: In the original description, Sharpe described only the male, but did not say how many specimens he had. Later, Whitehead (in Sharpe and Whitehead, 1889: 194) said: ‘‘This species was decidedly rare on Kina Balu, and on my first ascent [1887] I only got one specimen …’’. Whitehead’s label is marked ‘‘ Type RBS[harpe]’’ and it also bears a Rothschild type label.
