Hi Gary & Greg,

Terraereginae is correct. Aerodramus terrareginae is an incorrect spelling that pops up regularly. It should be Aerodramus terraereginae.

Cheers,

Carl Clifford

Hi Gary,

My understanding of the meaning of terraereginae is terrae = land reginae = queen = Queensland. There is a frog, the Northern Banjo Frog with the name Limnodynastes terraereginae. Note the extra 'e' in 'reginae'.

I had great views and obtained some great close up photos of the Double-eyed Fig-parrot feeding in a fruiting Cluster Fig at Centenary Lakes in Cairns last September.
