The type specimen was collected by Charles Hose in 1891 on Mount Dulit in northern Sarawak, at an altitude of about 600 m, with the bird being taken “in a small jungle hut into which it had flown in the dusk evidently attracted by the light”.
The common name and Latin binomial commemorate the British colonial administrator, zoologist and ethnologist Charles Hose.
