Raffles's malkoha (Rhinortha chlorophaea) is a species of cuckoo (family Cuculidae). It was formerly often placed in Phaenicophaeus with the other malkohas, but it appears to not be very closely related to the true malkohas. It exhibits several autapomorphies and sexual dimorphism (which its presumed relatives all lack).
It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand. It was once found in Singapore but is now considered extirpated. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
Its diet consists of insects, including caterpillars, cicadas, crickets, beetles, and locusts.
During courtship, the male Raffles's malkoha has been observed to stand on the base of the female's outstretched wings and hold a frog in its bill. It is unclear whether the frog is a gift to the female or whether the male keeps it afterward.

O malcoa-castanho (Rhinortha chlorophaea) é uma espécie de ave da família Cuculidae. Antigamente, era frequentemente colocado em Phaenicophaeus com os outros malcoas, mas é uma espécie bastante distinta, com várias autapomorfias e dimorfismo sexual (que seus parentes presumidos não possuem).
Pode até não estar intimamente relacionado com os verdadeiros malcoas, mas forma uma linhagem muito básica de cuculídeos; em qualquer caso, sua colocação no gênero monotípico Rhinortha é bem justificada.
Pode ser encontrado em Brunei, Indonésia, Malásia, Mianmar, Cingapura e Tailândia. Os seus habitats naturais são as florestas subtropicais ou tropicais húmidas de baixa altitude.
