Description
Loborhamphus nobilis Rothschild
Loborhamphus nobilis Rothschild, 1901: 34 (Dutch New Guinea).
Now considered a hybrid Lophorina superba X Paradigalla carunculata. See Rothschild and Hartert, 1903a: 65, 72–73, 89, pl. 1; Rothschild, 1911: 357; Hartert, 1919: 129; Stresemann, 1930: 12; Mayr, 1962d: 203; Gilliard, 1969: 63–65; Fuller, 1995: 42–49; Frith and Beehler, 1998: 510–511, pl. 14 (5).
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 679113, [adult male], purchased from van Renesse van Duiven-
bode, collected somewhere in Papua Province, Indonesia (formerly Dutch New Guinea). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: When Loborhamphus nobilis was described, Rothschild had the single specimen. Only later did he (Rothschild, 1907b: 25) obtain a second specimen (AMNH 679114), but this was not part of his type series.
Parentage of this putative hybrid is less certain than in most other cases.
