Manucodiacus asymmetricus papuanus Mey, 2017
Manucodiacus asymmetricus papuanus Mey, 2017: 140 , pl. X: figs 1–2.
Manucodicola asymmetrica papuana ( Mey, 2017) . New combination, species subspecies inquirenda.
Type host: Manucodia chalybaeus (Forster, 1871) —Crinkle-collared manucode.
Type locality: “ Hinterland des Sattelberges bei Finschhafen ”, Papua New Guinea .
Remarks. Considering that both Manucodiacus asymmetricus papuanus and Manucodicola semiramisae Gustafsson & Bush, 2017 have two sternal plates anterior to the subgenital plate, it is possible that M. a. papuanus is a junior synonym of Mn. semiramisae . However, the absence of other illustrations of M. a. papuanus makes it difficult to confirm such synonymy; therefore, we consider this taxon a species subspecies inquirenda.
