COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Whitlock’s field label, the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Mathews cataloged only one specimen, a migrant individual of nominate G. fusca ( Ford, 1981a; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 186).

Whitlock (1910) published the results of his 1909 expedition to the East Murchison district, where the type of wayensis was collected.
