A question for cockatoo people with taxonomic knowledge.

Would someone advise and / or confirm that there are currently three 
subspecies of Glossy Black-Cockatoo recognised?  I ask this because 
Christidis & Boles (2008) appears to provide no details on subspecies.

HANZAB  indicates the subspecies as one for Kangaroo Island, another for 
south central Queensland and the final one coastal se Queensland down to 
far eastern Victoria.  It is this last one I am interested in.

Is its taxonomy now known as 

Calyptorhynchus lathami 

or

Calyptorhynchus lathami lathami (as indicated by pre-Christidis and Boles 
2008 references on this group)


cheers, Martin
