● Daudin 1800, considered the Yellow Wattlebird to be a type of magpie, naming it “Pie à pendeloques” and placing it in Corvus (Anthochaera).
● “Weil dieser Vogel sowohl in Haltung und Lebensart, als selbst, mit Ausnahme des Schnabels, auch in der Körperbildung so ganz die Eigenschaften der Gattung Troglodytes zeigt, so habe ich ihn der Hand noch nicht von derselben trennen wollen” (von Kittlitz 1830) (Eugralla).
● "Paradoxornitheo simillimus: mandibula superiore minus sinuosa, magis apice truncata; digitus externus brevissimus; alæ breves; cauda elongata, graduata" (Verreaux 1870) (Heteromorpha).
