  • Drepanornis albertisi inversa Rothschild Drepanornis albertisi inversa Rothschild (in Hartert, Paludan, Rothschild and Stresemann), 1936: 188 (Kunupi). Now Drepanornis albertisi cervinicauda Sclater, 1883. See Mayr, 1962d: 189–190; Gilliard, 1969: 134–136; Diamond, 1972: 329–330; Coates, 1990: 441; Cracraft, 1992: 17–18; Frith and Beehler, 1998: 377–385; and Frith and Frith, 2009b: 480. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 302362, adult male, collected on Mount Kunupi, 03.52S, 135.31E (Frith and Beehler, 1998: 569), Pegunungan Kobowre (= Weyland Mountains), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 8 September 1931, by Georg Stein (no. 2930). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild noted that he had an adult male, the type, and a juvenile male. The paratype is AMNH 302363, immature male, collected on Mount Kunupi, 1200 m, on 19 September 1931 by Stein (no. 2921). From DNA sequencing, Nunn and Cracraft (1996) and Irestedt et al. (2009) have shown that Drepanornis is not closely related to other sickle-billed birds of paradise, genus Epimachus. Most authors have synonymized inversus with D. albertisi cervinicaudus, except Cracraft (1992: 17–18), who synonymized inversus with D. albertisi albertisi and considered D. albertisi a phylogenetic species. Mount Kunupi is shown on the map in Hartert et al. (1936: 168), on the middle Menoo River, a tributary of the Wanggar River, which enters southern Geelvink Bay. Stein (1933: 289–306) described this camp and (Stein, 1936: 26) published notes on this species.
