Discussion: Sometimes referred to fuliginosa ( Heaney et al., 1987; Jenkins, 1982), but represents a distinct species ( Corbet and Hill, 1992; Ruedi, 1995). In Java C. orientalis is confined to the mountains and replaced by C. brunnea in the lowlands. Ruedi (1995) distinguished lawuana as a subspecies. Karyotype has 2n = 38, FN = 56 ( Ruedi and Vogel, 1995).
