Dromaius novaehollandiae (Latham, 1790)

Casuarius novaehollandiae (protonym)
Dromaius ater Vieillot, 1817 (as to type)
Dromaius gracilipes De Vis, 1892 [synonymised by Patterson & Rich, 1987: 96 ('we therefore synonymize D. gracilipes with D. novaehollandiae')]
Dromaius patricius De Vis, 1892 [synonymised by Patterson & Rich, 1987: 95 ('we, therefore, synonymize D. patricius with D. novaehollandiae')]
Metapteryx bifrons De Vis, 1892 [synonymised by Patterson & Rich, 1987: 96 ('Metapteryx bifrons in all repects conforms to a juvenile individual of D. novaehollandiae, and we synonymize it with that species)]
