Comments.
Vieillot did not specify how many specimens were in the MNHN. The only two specimens that entered the registration book (drafted roughly by 1854) are those described above (MNHN Laboratory, ZMO-GalOis 3). The type locality is erroneous (Nouvelle-Hollande), and therefore corrected and restricted to: West-Timor, near Kupang Bay (article 76a.2.A (ICZN 1999)). Vieillot named this species
rufiventer
or 'red
belly'
(
Jobling 2017
).
