HOLOTYPE : AMNH 679119 , [adult male], purchased from van Renesse van Duivenbode, collected somewhere in Papua Province , Indonesia (formerly Dutch New Guinea). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: This specimen is generally accepted as a hybrid between Epimachus fastosus and Astrapia nigra ( Stresemann, 1930: 13 ) . It is illustrated by Hartert (1911a: 604 and pl. 7), by Fuller (1995 : pl. 7), and by Frith and Beehler (1998 : pl. 14, no. 1). Although nothing is known about where this single specimen was collected, it was presumably from somewhere on the Vogelkop as its putative parents occur there.
