Platycercus vulneratus (part.), Schleg. Mus. P.-B. Psittaci, Revue, 

 p. 39 (specim. from Wetter) (1874). 



The bird from Wetter, of which there is but one female in the 

 British Museum, according to Schlegcl differs from the Timor form 

 in being smaller and in having less red on the wing-coverts, these 

 being without yellowish tinge, and of the same green colour as that 

 of the back.
