A specimen taken at Manipur in 1874 was brought to London by the dealer Jamrach, and was later sent to the Berlin Zoological Gardens. It had been determined as R. sondaicus both in Berlin and London. Jamrach was not satisfied with this, and insisted that it represented a hitherto undescribed species. He finally described it himself as R. jamrachii ! The remains have apparently been lost.
