COMMENTS: This name was another published in 1923, in the rush to have new taxa in print prior to publication of volume 12 of ‘‘Birds of Australia’’ ( Mathews 1925 –1927). In the original description, the type was said to be from Napier Broome Bay, with the head coloration (either red or black) more pronounced and the back a deeper shade of green than the nominate. The above 18 specimens had not previously been included with the types, but they must be considered syntypes of westra as none of them bears any indication that it was the intended type. Two of them, AMNH 721727 (a red-headed male) and AMNH 721744 (a black-headed female) bear Mathews ‘‘Figured’’ labels and they are figured in Mathews (1926: 238–244, pl. 573, opp. p. 238), but while both of them are referred to in the text as figured, neither is said to be the type. AMNH 721742 was described as ‘‘Young’’ (p. 240), and its label is marked ‘‘descr.’’ by Mathews.
