The inland thornbill (Acanthiza apicalis) was originally described by English ornithologist John Gould in The Birds of Australia.[1] Inland thornbills are within the order passerines.[2] The inland thornbill belongs to the genus Acanthiza, which now has three more species than the eleven outlined by Gould in The Birds of Australia.[1] The Noongar people of southwestern Western Australia call A. apicalis "Djoobi-Djoolbang".[3] The inland thornbill is also known as the broad-tail thornbill and presently contains several subspecies that were once considered independent species.[4] The word apicalis comes from the Latin for 'tipped'.[4]
