...; and I feel assured that in dedicating this bird to the memory of Mrs Gould, I shall have the full sanction of all who were personally acquainting with her, as well as of those who only knew her by her delicate works as an artist.

Mr. Vigors expressed the pleasure which he felt in dedicating this species to the accomplished artist, Mrs. Gould, who executed the plates of the Himalayan birds.

As a new genus for Chloebia gouldiae I would attribute the name as well for her.Austral Avian Record
● Chloromunia Mathews 1923: 5 (2/3), p.40
● Gouldaeornis Mathews 1923: 5 (2/3), p.41
There's a copy of that which can be downloaded from Hathi if you have a US IP. But, anyway, the texts are extremely short (it's a quick, minimal, all-at-a-time introduction of all the new names he planned to use in Birds of Australia), and I think the following snippets from Google should let you see everything:
[Chloromunia]
[Gouldaeornis 1] [Gouldaeornis 2]

Finch genus Gouldaeornis Mathewes, 1923 NCR [Now in Erythura Chloebia)

Elizabeth Gould (1804–1841) was the wife of John Gould (q.v.). She was taught lithography by Edward Lear (q.v.), and went on to use this skill to create illustrations from John Gould's drawings. While on an Australian expedition (1841) English ornithologist John Gould came across what many believe to be the most beautifulfinch in the world, and he named it 'The Lady Gouldian' to honour his artist wife although she bore no actual aristocratic title.
