See Salomonsen, 1967: 386, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 238, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 601–602.

Rogers (no. 1737). From the Mathews Collection (no. 9245) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and said that the range of <i>darbiski</i> was ‘‘ North-West Australia.’’ In addition to Rogers’ label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the holotype bears a ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 541, left fig., opp. p. 562, text p. 566), where it is confirmed as the type of <i>darbiski</i>.
