It is endemic to the island of Borneo.[2] One of the least known of the orioles, its distribution range is restricted to Sarawak in Borneo.[3] Along with the black-and-crimson, maroon, and silver orioles, it belongs to a clade of red and black orioles.[4] The binomial name is after Charles Hose who collected the first specimen of the species on Mount Dulit.[5]
