  • <p><b>2140. Red-crowned Barbet <i>Psilopogon rafflesii</i> (Lesson, 1839)</b></p><p>Listed as <i>Bucco versicolor</i> ȱ byȱ Rafflesȱ(1822),ȱ aȱ nameȱ alsoȱ usedȱ forȱ anȱ unsexedȱ specimenȱ byȱ Stanley in 1825. However, this name was already in use for a South American species, Versicoloured Barbet (now <i>Eubucco versicolor</i> Statius Muller, 1776). Stanley later annotated his manuscript with ‘ <i>Barbu bigarrè</i> ȱ Pl.ȱ Col.ȱ 309’,ȱ referringȱ toȱ Vigors’ȱ catalogueȱ (Rafflesȱ 1830). Subsequently, while cataloguing the collection of Abeillé, Lesson (1839) named the Sumatran species eponymously as ‘ <i>Bucco Rafflesii</i> ’. Lack of a traceable specimen in NML, or a number in Moore’s stock books, suggests it was not part of the 1851 bequest.</p>
