- n. A hill-tit, Trichostoma rostratum, inhabiting the Malay peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. It was originally described by Blyth in 1842 as Trichostoma rostratum, and has since been placed in six other genera, with various specific names. It is 5 inches long, with red eyes, bluish feet, and varied brownish coloration. The name extends to other hill-tits which have improperly been placed in Trichostoma, the one here named being the only member of this genus in a proper sense.
