Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

The crescent-caped lophorina or Vogelkop superb bird-of-paradise (Lophorina niedda), sometimes noted as the curl-caped bird-of-paradise,[1] is a species of the Paradisaeidae (bird-of-paradise) family. It is endemic to the Bird's Head Peninsula in New Guinea (Шаблон:Lang in Dutch).[2] First described in 1930 by Ernst Mayr, it had been treated as a subspecies of the superb bird-of-paradise but was elevated to the status of a full species in 2017,[1] and reinforced in 2018 based on its striking black plumage (its feathers absorb 99.95 percent of light)[3] and behavioral differences, especially visible in the courting male.[2][4]

Etymology

The crescent-caped lophorina's scientific name consists of the words lophorina, meaning "tuft/crest-nose", referring to the upward-standing tufts of feathers behind each nostril, and niedda which refers to the native onomatopoeic name for a bird-of-paradise. The subspecies, L. n. inopinataШаблон:'s specific name means unexpected or unlooked for.

Taxonomy and systematics

Historical sources generally recorded the crescent-caped lophorina as being a subspecies of the superb bird-of-paradise (Lophorina superba niedda); however, in 2017, the crescent-caped lophorina was formally treated as a separate species.[1] There are two known subspecies: L. n. niedda, found on the Wadammen Peninsula; and L. n. inopinata, found on the Doberai Peninsula.[1] There are also several differences in courtship behavior, as well as their geographic isolation from the rest of the population.[2] This classification is disputed, however; the subspecies inopinata comprises the taxon formerly known as L. superba superba, but given a new name,[1] while other taxonomists argue that regardless of the evidence, names should not be reassigned from one recognized taxon to another after over 200 years of consistent application.[5]

Distribution

The crescent-caped lophorina is found in the mountains of Bird's Head Peninsula, in Western New Guinea, Indonesia.[6] It is typically found at heights of Шаблон:Convert.[1]
