Lyncornis Temminckii, Gould, in .Proc. of Zool. Soc. Part VI. 1838.
T h is species I had named Lyncornis coltaris in my MS., and my friend M. Temminck has recently sent me a
specimen under the name o f imberbis; now as the term collaris is applicable to every species o f the genus,
and the term imberbis equally so, I have considered it best to rescind both these specific appellations, and to
substitute in their place that o f Temminckii, thus dedicating the species to my excellent friend.
This appears to be a much more abundant species than the two preceding; I have several examples in my
own collection. I t is a native of Borneo.
The figure is o f the natural size.
