ngton, 1957:488). The endemic species in Borneo are members of four, possibly five, genera that are also endemic. Four of these five genera are montane in distribution. The only endemic for which the geographic history cannot be adequately explained is the monotypic _Pityriasis gymnocephala_. Its affinities seem to be with the Cracticidae of New Guinea and Australia. The species has been found throughout Borneo. Since _Pityriasis_ is endemic to Borneo, it probably was detached from the parent stock at an early period. The Australasian affinities of _Pityriasis_ emphasize its zoogeographical peculiarities. A more detailed discussion of this species appears in the annotated list below. COLLECTING LOCALITIES AND COLLECTORS [Illustration: Fig. 1.
