Diplogale hosei (Thomas, 1892) Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, 9:250.

TYPE LOCALITY: "Mount Dulit, N. Borneo, 4000 ft " [Malaysia, Sarawak, Gunung Dulit, 3°15'N, 114°15'E].

DISTRIBUTION: Malaysia (Sabah, Sarawak).

COMMENTS: Thomas published two accounts of the type description in 1892, one printed in August (Thomas, 1892a), and another printed in October (Thomas, 1892b). Although Pocock (1933d) supported Thomas (1912) in separating this species into Diplogale; Chasen (1940), Medway (1977), and Payne et al. (1985) did not. Similiar differences in pelage and dentition have been used elsewhere (e.g., Osbornictis vs. Genetta) at the generic level.
