Now Cyornis rufigastra omissus (Hartert, 1896) . See White and Bruce, 1986: 360, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 156.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 605392 , adult male, collected at Indrulaman , Sulawesi Island, Indonesia, in September 1895, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert spoke of ‘‘types’’ from Indrulaman, just below Gunung Lompobattang (5 Bonthain Peak), 05.22S, 119.58E (Times Atlas), and a pair from the lake of Tondano. Later, Hartert (1920: 491) designated as lectotype the single male specimen collected by Everett at Indrulaman in September 1895. The paralectotypes are: AMNH 605386 and 605387, unsexed, collected at Todano Lake in August to September 1892, by A.B. Meyer ; AMNH 450707 , male, AMNH 605393 and 605494, adult females, and AMNH 605395 , immature female, all collected at Indrulaman by Everett in October 1895. Specimens collected by Doherty on Bonthain Peak in 1896 were not included in Hartert’s type series .

Watson et al. (1986b: 372) included the species rufigastra in Niltava .
