In 1996, they were divided into two species: the Bornean orangutan (P. pygmaeus, with three subspecies) and the Sumatran orangutan (P. abelii); a third species, the Tapanuli orangutan (P. tapanuliensis), was identified definitively in 2017.
To indicate the rank of the infraspecific name, a "connecting term" is needed. Thus Poa secunda subsp. juncifolia, where "subsp". is an abbreviation for "subspecies", is the name of a subspecies of Poa secunda. [19] Hybrids can be specified either by a "hybrid formula" that specifies the parentage, or may be given a name.

The specific epithet rajangensis refers to the Rajang River in Borneo, near which the species was initially surveyed. [3] Description
The Rajah scops owl (Otus brookii) is a species of owl found on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra.The bird is named after James Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak. [3] Based on patterns of speciation in other endemic montane bird species of the same region, it may potentially have to be split into two distinct species; if so, the name Otus brookii would be restricted to just the Bornean population.
