This
checklist includes all known Bornean species giving the page number on
which a fuller account can be found, a broad categorisation of the type of
geographical distribution and Bornean habitat preference.
In
the geographical distribution the term Wallacea indicates the presence of
the species in Sulawesi and the Philippines,
*means shared with Sumatra
only and
**means shared with Peninsular Malaysia only. The suggested
habitat preference is bracketed if based on less than five specimens. The
categories 'Radio Sabah' and 'Summit' refer to zones on G. Kinabalu above
upper montane recognised by Holloway (1970).
