SYNTYPE: MNHN-ZO-2013-1105 [MNHN A.C. 8383], adult, near Kupang Bay, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, West-Timor ( 10°11'0"S ; 123°35'0"E ), between 22 August and 13 November 1801, by Rene Mauge . Pedestal underside: Timor / Exp. Baudin / M. Mauge an 11 / 8393 / Geocichla peroni / Type V . Pedestal label: Geocichla peronii / Type (Vieill.) / Exp. Baudin Timor . Comments. Lesson did not mention the number of specimens examined. The two MNHN specimens are the only specimens that had entered the registration book around 1854 (MNHN Laboratory, ZMO-GalOis 3). Both syntypes listed above are also part of the type material of Turdus peronii Vieillot 1817. The type locality is erroneous (Nouvelle-Hollande), and therefore corrected and restricted to: West-Timor, near Kupang Bay (article 76a.2.A (ICZN 1999)). Lesson named this species novaehollandiae or 'from New Holland' ( Jobling 2017 ).
