HOLOTYPE : AMNH 673987 , adult male, collected on Bougainville Island , North Solomons Province , Papua New Guinea , on 2 May 1904 , by Albert S. Meek (no. A.1719). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild gave Meek’s unique field number of the holotype and noted that he had a second male specimen. The paratype is AMNH 673986 , adult male, collected on Bougainville on 6 May 1904 , by Meek (no. A.1748). Rothschild and Hartert (1905: 268) listed these two specimens in their report on Meek’s entire collection made in the Solomon Islands in 1904. Other specimens were collected later. This population has been variously considered a full species, part of a superspecies, or as a subspecies of Corvus woodfordi . Most recent authors have considered it a full species.
