Forms superspecies with C. funereus and C. latirostris. Long considered conspecific with latter, but currently treated as separate species because ecology quite different, and bill significantly longer than that of C. latirostris; difficulty in field identification, compounded by long history of conspecific treatment, have led to uncertainty regarding limits of range in area of overlap, and to publication of some inaccurate maps. Present species has also, on occasion, been lumped in C. funereus. Confusion over bill size of bird used in original description led to proposal of race tenuirostris, but this name has now been shown to be synonymous with baudinii (see page 247). Monotypic.
Distribution: Forested extreme SW Australia.
