Greetings: Can someone with historical/taxonomic interest or
knowledge tell me if the name Calyptoryhchus magnificus, is a
former scientific name of the Glossy Black Cockatoo, which is now C lathami, or
the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, now C banksii?
I am working on a nomination of the Glossy BC for listing in
the ACT, and have an ACT 1943 bird list which refers to C magnificus with
the common name Red-tailed Black Cockatoo. I suspect it is the Glossy
BC referred to on that list.
If someone can assist, it will save me some time
researching.
cheers
Jenny
