Comment:
'Although Casuarius (bennetti) papuanus remains perfectly valid for Schlegel's type specimen, its use should be restricted to birds matching the description. Quite where Schlegel's holotype should be aligned is still uncertain, but certainly not with birds possessing a predominantly white occipital region' (Perron, 2011)
