Currently nine subspecies recognized[1]:

  • P. k. keraudrenii in western New Guinea
  • P. k. aruensis on Aru Islands
  • P. k. jamesii in the lowlands of southern New Guinea
  • P. k. neumanni in the mountains of eastern New Guinea
  • P. k. adelberti in the Adelbert Mountains, northeast New Guinea
  • P. k. diamondi south of watershed of eastern Highlands, eastern New Guinea
  • P. k. purpureoviolaceus in the uplands of southeast New Guinea
  • P. k. hunsteini on D'Entrecasteaux Archipelago - may possibly be a full species, Hunstein's Manucode
  • P. k. gouldii in extreme northeast Australia (northeast Cape York Peninsula adjacent Albani Island and Mai Island)

Proposed mayri from Huon Peninsula not (yet) accepted. Birds of Mamberamo River area are not yet assigned to any subspecies.
Formerly placed in genus Manucodia.

Habitat

Lowland rainforest, hill forest and middle montane forest. Only rarely at forest edge or in second growth. In New Guinea found at 200 - 2000m, mainly at 900 - 1800m. In Australia in lowlands and close to coast.
