This is a preliminary species list made from trawling various websites, primarily through the information already available on the excellent site, www.phals.net maintained by Alain Brochart. Taxonomy is not my forte but in time, with genomic data, we will definitely have a better way for genotyping and inferring the different species at a molecular level.
Nonetheless, because this blog is geographically constrained for species from Borneo, the geographic distribution of the list is (sadly) heavily reliant on old collection data prior to the massive loss of habitat on this island. The list is a work in progress, so it may change in the future.
