Remarks. Although eventually recorded from six locations in the Kampar Peninsula, O. pulcherrima was not found at all during the surveys in January 2020 and February 2023. This is generally a common species in swamp forest so its apparent absence early in the year is curious but could be an artefact of sampling effort.
