Corvus bennetti queenslandicus Mathews, 1912a: 443 (Queensland).
Now Corvus orru cecilae Mathews, 1912. See Mathews, 1927: 407–412; Hartert, 1929a: 48– 54; Mathews, 1930: 896; Blake and Vaurie, 1962: 276; Rowley, 1970; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 606–607; and dos Anjos, 2009: 633.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 674551, young male, collected at Coomooboolaroo, 23.53N, 149.34E (USBGN, 1957), Dawson River, Queensland, Australia, on 27 November 1909, from the Barnard Collection. From the Mathews Collection (no. 4724) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. Mathews’ catalog records that this specimen was the only Corvus specimen from among 16 Dawson River specimens of various species purchased from [C.A. and H.G.] Barnard. It bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels and the original label, annotated by Hartert on the reverse: ‘‘H. Barnard Coll.’’ Mathews’ measurements are written on this label: wing 317 mm, bill 55, tarsus 64 (I measure wing 318, bill 56, tarsus 64).
