taxonomy
I just added and removed the following from taxonomy, it creates a problem with extant text on race in the distribution section. — cygnis insignis 10:18, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

A species description was published in 1904 by A. W. Milligan, Ptilotis novæ-norciæ, separating his specimen from eastern population of this species (Latham, 1801), The type location, Wongan Hills, is located in the southwest of Australia. This description is the basis for a generic combination of a subspecies, Nesoptilotis leucotis novaenorcia, citing the 2011 reevaluation.

The subspecific descriptions are


 * N. l. leucotis (Latham, 1801) occurs in southeast Australia
 * N. l. novaenorciae (Milligan, 1904), southwest to eastern central
 * N. l. thomasi (Mathews, 1912)	Kangaroo Island (off south Australia)
