Graucalus papuensis ingens Rothschild and Hartert, 1914d: 107 (Manus).

Now Coracina papuensis ingens (Rothschild and Hartert, 1914) . See Coates, 1990: 38, and Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 389.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 561396 , adult male, collected on Manus Island , 02°00′S, 147°00′E (Times Atlas), Admiralty Islands, Manus Province, Papua New Guinea, on 9 September 1913, for Albert S. Meek (no. 6012). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Meek’s field number of the type was given in the original description. Rothschild and Hartert (1914c: 296) listed two males and seven females from Manus, for which they gave Meek’s numbers. One male and six females, in addition to the holotype, came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. They are paratypes AMNH 561397–561403. The missing paratype is Meek no. 6016.

Schodde and Mason (1999: 583) considered ingens an allospecies of papuensis .
