Manucodia ater altera Rothschild and Hartert, 1903a: 84 (Sudest Island, Louisiade Islands).
Now Manucodia ater alter Rothschild and Hartert, 1903 . See Hartert, 1919: 128; Mayr, 1962d: 185; Gilliard, 1969: 95–100; Coates, 1990: 430–431; Cracraft, 1992: 8–9; Frith and Beehler, 1998: 211–217; and Frith and Frith, 2009b: 462–463.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 677282 View Materials , adult male, collected on Sudest Island , 11.30S, 153.40E (PNG General Reference Map, 1984), Louisiade Islands, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea, on 16 April 1898, by Albert S. Meek (no. 1735). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild and Hartert designated Meek’s specimen no. 1735 as the holotype of altera and divided the specimens they included in the new form into two geographic groups: group A from eastern New Guinea and the eastern Papuan islands and group B from the Aru Islands . However, at that time they saw no differences between the two groups and included in it all the listed specimens in their new altera. Later, they named subalter (see below) and included all the specimens listed for altera except those from Sudest Island (sometimes also referred to as Tagula Island). All the specimens listed here are paratypes of altera ; those listed below in shortened form are also the lectotype and paralectotypes of subalter.

Manucodia has been considered both masculine and feminine, but the ICZN ruled that the gender is to be masculine (see Melville and Smith, 1987: 123). Most authors have recognized subalter and accept- ed three subspecies in Manucodia ater , but Cracraft considered the species monotypic.
