From the "Spectacled Flowerpecker" thread of the main taxonomy forum (thanks to Melanie, see her post there for more details).
Dicaeum dayakorum, species novum [sic]
Spectacled Flowerpecker
[...]
Etymology.—We name Dicaeum dayakorum in honor of the Dayak people of Borneo. Their immense knowledge of the flora and fauna of their homeland forests is irreplaceable and crucial to future conservation efforts of Borneo’s endemic ecosystems.
The English name of ‘Spectacled Flowerpecker’ is assigned as proposed by Edwards et al. (2009), and refers to the broken eye-ring that is this species’ most characteristic and easily recognized plumage feature. This name also has the benefit of established usage in the ornithological and birdwatching community.
