Crested argus  (Rheinardia ocellata)

Endemic to Southeast Asia. The nominate subspecies, R. o. ocellata, occurs along the Annamite mountain chain in central and southern Vietnam and neighbouring eastern Laos, south to the Da Lat Plateau in southern Vietnam (7). R. o. nigrescens is found in central Peninsular Malaysia (6).

In Laos and Vietnam, this bird is found in primary and secondary evergreen forest from sea-level up to 1,500 metres, and from 1,700 to 1,900 metres on the Da Lat Plateau. Although frequently recorded in degraded, logged forest habitats, highest densities occur in moist primary forest in lowlands up to 900 metres. In Malaysia, the species inhabits montane forest, generally at an elevation between 800 and 1,100 metres (7).
