Treatment of this species as monotypic follows the revision of
Salomonsen (1961:17).

_=Dicaeum cruentatum=_ (Linnaeus): Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker.--Along
the seashore near Tawau this species fed in flowering trees. Males were
pugnacious and persistently chased what appeared to be females.

_=Dicaeum trigonostigma dayakanum=_ Chasen and Kloss: Orange-bellied
Flowerpecker.--_Specimen_, 1: 5.5 mi. SW Tenom: [Male], December 23,
1962, MCT 3507.

This flowerpecker was found only in the moss forest above Tenom,
where it was seen numerous times feeding among the epiphytic
plants.

White-eye.--_Specimens_, 9: Cocoa Research Station: [Female], August 8,
1962, MCT 2734; [Male] testis 4 x 3 mm., August 8, 1962, MCT 2735;
[Female], 8.6 gm., August 11, 1962, MCT 2757; [Female], 7.8 gm., August
11, 1962, MCT 2758; [Female] imm., 7.9 gm., August 11, 1962, MCT 2759;
[Female], 8.2 gm., August 11, 1962, MCT 2760; [Male], 7.8 gm., August

At the Cocoa Research Station flocks of 20 to 40 birds were seen
daily, feeding in the cocoa trees. Only once was this species seen
away from the cocoa trees; this was in secondary forest where the
birds were feeding in a tree about 30 feet tall. They move in
flocks and are noisy.

Smythies (1960:485) states that this species occurs from the Poi
Range up to the lower slopes of Kinabalu. This is apparently the
first record from eastern Borneo.

In contrast to _L. malacca_, this species was commonly found in
secondary forest away from cultivated fields. It was common at
Quoin Hill and Kalabakan. On July 18, 1962, a pair was observed
