The false-lobed astrapia, also known as the false-lobed long-tail, is a bird in the family
Paradisaeidae that was proposed by
Erwin Stresemann to be an intergeneric
hybrid between a
long-tailed paradigalla and
black sicklebill. Another interpretation that has been put forward is that the only known specimen is an immature
Elliot's bird-of-paradise.
[1] However, a 2024
DNA study found that it is an
F1 hybrid between a long-tailed paradigalla and an
Arfak astrapia.
[2]
Only one adult male specimen is known of this hybrid, coming from the Vogelkop Peninsula of north-western New Guinea, and held in the American Museum of Natural History. [3]
