of the older specimens.
Specimens have been taken previously in North Borneo on the
Bengkoka River, Lumbidan, and on the Mengalong River (Smythies,
1957:669). Mary Norman saw this honey-guide once at the Quoin
Estate in 1962 (Smythies, 1963:279).

The piculet was common in the secondary undergrowth near the Cocoa
Research Station, and was taken once in the primary forest. One
bird was seen sitting on a small branch about 10 feet up at a right
angle to the branch. It did not ascend the tree like a woodpecker.
This species was also taken in the moss forest near Tenom.

This woodpecker was observed twice, both times in primary forest at
