 Comments
       
  Comment: CITES: Appendix II under Paradisaeidae, per 2011 Checklist of CITES Species Part 1 CITES species index published with amendments to the Appendices and changes in standard scientific nomenclature following the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (Doha, 2010). For current status see CITES.org  
    The complex publication history of Indische Zoologie (Indian Zoology) complicates the correct authorship of Paradisea sefilata. The version in which sefilata appears is the second edition (1781), a Latin and German translation of Pennant's work by J.R. Forster. Forster added three plates supplied by Pennant to complete the publication (Zimmer 1926: 374-375). In the Peters Checklist (Mayr & Greenway 1962: 194), authorship is given as Pennant, 1781, with a note that the name is 'in Forster.' Richmond, however, attributed it directly to Forster (see https://www.zoonomen.net/cit/RI/SP/Pand/pand00152a.jpg). In the preface to Indische Zoologie, Forster (1781: ii) writes: 'In Descriptionibus corrigendis augendisque, ut et in conquirendis Synonymis, diligentia summa sum usus, Pennantii propositum, quaedam de Paradiseis et de Phoenice antiquorum edendi' - indicating that he expanded and corrected Pennant's descriptions from the first edition (1769, in English and French, the latter poorly translated; Zimmer 1926) and published Pennant's additional work on the Phoenix and Birds of Paradise. Accordingly, the most accurate attribution for Paradisea sefilata is Pennant in Forster, 1781
