discussion
Discussion: subniger species group. Included in griseus by Corbet and Hill (1992), but I follow Flannery (1995 b) and Heaney et al. (1998) in treating it as distinct pending further study. Some Philippine records were erroneously based on subadult hypomelanus; see Heaney et al. (1998). Includes mearnsi; see Heaney et al. (1987) and Flannery (1995 b), but also see Corbet and Hill (1992), who suggested that mearnsi may be a synonym of hypomelanus.
