Pseudastrapia lobata Rothschild, 1907c: 25 (Dutch New Guinea).

Now considered a hybrid Paradigalla carunculata View in CoL X Epimachus fastosus View in CoL . See Rothschild, 1911: 361; Hartert, 1919: 129; Stresemann, 1930: 13; Mayr, 1962d: 204; Gilliard, 1969: 64–65; Fuller, 1995: 54–65; and Frith and Beehler, 1998: 509– 510, pl. 14 (3).

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 679118 About AMNH , [immature male?], imported by Bensbach , collected somewhere in Papua Province, Indonesia (formerly Dutch New Guinea). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Rothschild considered this unique specimen immature. Hartert (1919: 129) thought that Epimachus ellioti should be included in the genus Pseudastrapia and that lobata was the immature of ellioti . As noted by Frith and Beehler (1998: 510), nothing about this specimen is ‘‘unequivocally indicative of immaturity,’’ and they discuss current understanding of its parentage.
