- <p><b><i>Ailuroedus crassirostris blaauwi</i> Mathews</b></p><p><i>Ailuroedus crassirostris blaauwi</i> Mathews, 1912a: 439 (Richmond River, New South Wales).</p><p>Now <i>Ailuroedus crassirostris</i> (Paykull, 1815). See Mathews, 1913a: 309; 1926: 314–317; Hartert, 1929a: 55; Mayr and Jennings, 1952: 2–3; Mayr, 1962c: 173–175; Gilliard, 1969: 263–266; Beehler and Finch, 1985: 55; Beehler et al., 1986: 220; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 622–624; Dickinson, 2003: 427; Frith and Frith, 2004: 249–250; Christidis and Boles, 2008: 179–180; and Frith and Frith, 2009a: 394.</p><p>HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 679627</b>, adult female, collected at Rous Mill (= Rous), 28.53S, 153.23E (USBGN, 1957), Richmond River, New South Wales, Australia, in October 1905, by P. Schrader. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3645) via the Rothschild Collection.</p><p>COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the type in the original description. I have considered the following specimens paratypes: <b>AMNH 679621–679626, 679628–679632</b>, six males, five females, all collected at Rous or on the Richmond River, between August 1903 and October 1908. The following Mathews catalog numbers apply to this form, but I could not correlate all the numbers with the specimens and some numbers apparently covered more than one specimen bearing the same data: 3643, 3644, 3950, 5535, 5536, 5999, 6000, 6001. The Mathews and Rothschild type labels bear Mathews no. 3646, but Schrader’s label is correctly numbered 3645. The number 3646 in Mathews’ catalog refers to a specimen of <i>Strepera graculina</i>. AMNH 679621 bears a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it served as the model for Mathews (1926: pl. 730, opp. p. 314; text p. 315), where it is described but not said to be the type. By 1913, Mathews (1913a: 309) considered <i>A. crassirostris</i> monotypic and <i>blaauwi</i> a synonym.</p><p>There is still much discussion as to whether <i>Ailuroedus melanotis</i> should be considered a species separate from <i>A. crassirostris</i>. Schodde and Mason (1999: 622–624) gave a thorough discussion of the various treatments and combined the populations in a single species; this was followed by Dickinson (2003: 427). Christidis and Boles (2008: 179– 180) and Frith and Frith (2009a: 394) have followed earlier authors and treated them as separate species, and their treatment is followed here.</p>
