Genus— CARTERORNIS. 
Carterornis Mathews, Austral Av. Rec., Vol. I., 
pt. 5, p. Ill, Dec. 24, 1912. Type (by original 
designation) Monarcha leucotis Gould. 
When I named this genus I wrote thus : “ Differs from Piezorhynchus in its 
weaker bill and feet and in its different wing formula ; the third, fourth, fifth 
and sixth primaries are subequal and longest, the seventh longer than the second 
which is about twice the length of the first, the eighth subequal with second ; 
from Symposiachrus in its longer, narrower bill and different wing formula.” 
Gould described the species under Monarcha, observing : “I have refrained 
from making the White-eared Flycatcher the type of a new genus until more 
information has reached us respecting it, and in the meantime have assigned 
it a situation with the other members of that form to which it seems to me 
to be most nearly allied.”
