Discussion: Thomas published two accounts of the type description in 1892, one printed in August (Thomas, 1892 a), and another printed in October (Thomas, 1892 b). Although Pocock (1933 d) and Corbet and Hill (1992) supported Thomas (1912 d) in separating this species into Diplogale; Chasen (1940), Medway (1977), and Payne et al. (1985) did not.
