CHECKLIST

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).
