Distribution: Andaman and Maldive Isls; New Guinea through Indonesia to Vietnam and Thailand, and adjacent islands; Philippines. Solomon Isls records are probably erroneous (K. Helgen, pers. comm.).

Conservation: CITES – Appendix II. IUCN / SSC Action Plan (1992) – Not Threatened. IUCN 2003 – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: subniger species group. It is possible that vociferus Peale, 1848, is an older name for this taxon; see K. Andersen (1912). Formerly included brunneus ; see Ride (1970); but see Koopman (1984 c) and Corbet and Hill (1992). Includes satyrus; see Bates and Harrison (1997), but also see Hill (1971 c), who included satyrus in melanotus . Also see Flannery (1995 a, b) and Bonaccorso (1998). Validity of many subspecies is questionable. Does not include mearnsi ; see Heaney et al. (1987) and Flannery (1995 b), but also see Corbet and Hill (1992).
