Taxonomy
The blue-rumped pitta was described by the English naturalist Robert George Wardlaw-Ramsay in 1881 from a specimen collected in Saigon, Cochinchina. He introduced the binomial name Pitta (Hydrornis) soror with Hydrornis as a subgenus.[2] The specific epithet soror is Latin for "sister" (that is "closely related").[3]
Five subspecies are recognised:[4]
- H. s. tonkinensis (Delacour, 1927) – south China and north Vietnam
- H. s. douglasi (Ogilvie-Grant, 1910) – Hainan island (off southeast China)
- H. s. petersi (Delacour, 1934) – central Laos and north central Vietnam
- H. s. soror (Wardlaw-Ramsay, RG, 1881) – south Laos and central and south Vietnam
- H. s. flynnstonei (Rozendaal, 1993) – east Thailand and south Cambodia
