Additional information
According to Layard (1876), the type-series was collected at Kandi (= Bua), western Vanua Levu, Fiji; both male and female were described, but the number of each examined is not stated. The ZMA-bird was probably obtained from a bird dealer shortly after its description. There are no syntypes in the BMNH (Warren & Harrison 1971).
