Introduction

Dichorragia nesimachus is widespread from Burma to Sulawesi, and is replaced by D. ninus in New Guinea and surrounding islands. Eliot (in Corbet et al. 1992) considers the entire array a single species, while Parsons (1999) splits them in two.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
