COMMENTS: Further
paratypes
(
two adult
males,
one immature
male and
two females
) are in the Zoological Museum Buitenzorg (
Hartert 1932: 483
; cited in Stresemann's original description). For details on the collecting trip and for observations on and collecting of birds of paradise see
Heurn (1921a: 11–28
;
1921b: 33–38
).
Frith and Beehler (1998: 300)
erroneously cited a sevendigit ZMB registration number.
Kleinschmidt's (1897)
types of
P. c
.
berlepschi
were erroneously attributed to the ZMB by
Frith and Beehler (1998)
but are actually among Berlepsch's collection in the SMF, a juvenile male, SMF 64277, and an adult male, SMF 64276, both acquired from the Renesse van Duivenbode family of
Ternate
in 1895.
