In 1825, Stanley listed an unsexed specimen simply as ‘ Polophilus ’. Cuculus bubutus (asterisked as Centropus Bubutus ȱHorsfield)ȱwasȱlistedȱbyȱRafflesȱ(1822),ȱaȱnameȱsubsequentlyȱ synonymised under ‘ Centropus Philippensis ȱCuvier’ȱbyȱHorsfieldȱandȱVigorsȱ(Rafflesȱ1830).ȱ This taxon seems to be the most likely to correspond with ‘ Polophilus ’. Lack of a traceable specimen in NML, or a number in Moore’s stock books, suggests it was not part of the 1851 bequest, thereby precluding further determination.
