Obs. The amount of grey on the tail varies much, and is sometimes 

 replaced by olive-yellow. This is especially the case in examples 

 from Lord Howe's Island and Tasmania. I have copied Ramsay's 

 description of P. occidentalis, although the specimens from Western 

 Australia in the Museum do not agree with his diagnosis.
