The following specimens are paratypes: AMNH 224389 About AMNH , 251973–251984 About AMNH , 252010 About AMNH , and 252012–252015, collected on Vanua Levu in January and February 1925. AMNH 224389 About AMNH was exchanged to ZMB in July 1936 ; AMNH 251974 About AMNH and 251975 were exchanged to DMNH in 1972 .

According to the unpublished journal of Rollo Beck (AMNH Department of Ornithology Archives), on 3 February 1925, the France was anchored in Savusavu Bay, 16.48S, 179.20E (Times Atlas).
