DEFINITIONS
PARADIGALLA
(Paradisaeidae; Ϯ Long-tailed Paradigalla P. carunculata) Portmanteau of genera Paradisaea Linnaeus, 1758, bird-of-paradise, and Gallus Brisson, 1760, fowl; "Adult Male ... large erectile wattles in front of eye at base of upper mandible yellowish-green, wattles at basal sides of lower mandible violet-blue becoming orange-yellow and then orange-red basally" (Cooper & Forshaw 1977); "Oiseau de Paradis à pendeloques. Cette espèce, des plus rares, dont on ne connaît qu'un individu, n'est pas aussi grosse que le Sifilet [Parotia]. Son plumage est noir, le dessus de la tête excepté, qui est vert émeraude. Sa queue est composée de douze rectrices, régulièrement étagées. Les plumes des flancs sont molles, abondantes et lâches comme celles des Sifilets. Une sorte de crête surmonte le devant du front, et deux pendeloques charnues s'attachent aux côtés de la mandibule inférieure. On pourrait la nommer Paradigalla carunculata." (Lesson 1835); "Paradigalla Lesson, 1835, Hist. Nat. Ois. Parad., p. 242. Type, by monotypy, P. carunculata Lesson." (Mayr in Peters 1962, XV, 189). Cracraft 1992, listed Paradigalla as having three phylogenetic species.
