See  Mathews, 1926: 390–402;  Hartert, 1929a: 53;  Mathews, 1930: 894–895;  Blake and Vaurie, 1962: 276– 277; Rowley, 1967;  1970: 50–53;  Schodde and Mason, 1999: 611; and  dos Anjos, 2009: 634.    HOLOTYPE: AMNH 674602, male, collected on Angas Plains, 35.21S, 139.00E( USBGN, 1957), South Australia, Australia, on  31 December 1901, by Edwin Ashby(no. 290). Fromthe Mathews Collection(3724, not 5724) via the Rothschild Collection.  COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews said only that his type was from South Australia, gave inclusive wing measurements, 326–330 mm, without stating the sex, and noted that the feather bases were gray. He also gave his catalog number of the holotypeas 5724, but this was a typographical error, the correct number being 3724. (The entry at no. 5724 is a specimen of  Neochmia phaeton.) Hartert (1929a: 53)did not catch this error in Mathews’ catalog number.  Rowley (1967)elevated this form to full species status and gave measurements of the holotype: wing 326 mm, bill 54 mm, tarsus 62 mm. Schodde and Mason (1999: 611)and dos Anjos (2009: 634)accepted species status for  C. mellori.     Corvus marianae halmaturinusis a synonym of  mellori(see below) and was described on the same page.  Rowley (1970: 50)served as first revisor when he chose  mellorito have priority over halmaturinus. [A second specimen of  mellori, AMNH674489, cataloged by Mathews as no. 3723, ‘‘  Corvus coronoides,’’ also a male, was collected on 30 December 1901on Angas Plains. This specimen was identified in the AMNH catalog as  Corvus bennettibut is a raven with gray feather bases. It was collected by Edwin Ashby and identified as  Corvus coronoidesby him. I measure the wing as 318 mm, bill 50 mm, tarsus, 57 mm, which fall within the measurements given by Rowley (1970: 51)for males of  mellorifrom inland New South Walesand South Australia.
