The Paradise Birdwing (''Ornithoptera paradisea'') is a species of birdwing butterfly found in New Guinea. ==History== Arnold Pagenstecher and Staudinger both described this butterfly, under different names and the first description by Staudinger was based on a manuscript sent to him by Pagenstecher who possessed specimens from the collection of D. Wolf von Schönberg in Naumburg who had acquired them from a colonist in the then German New Guinea. Pagenstecher's name is ''Schoenbergia schoenbergi'' and the year of publication also 1893. Robert Henry Fernando Rippon in his illustrated monograph ''Icones Ornithopterorum'' (1898 to 1906) attributes the name ''paradisea'' to both entomologists i.e. as ''Ornithoptera paradisea'' Pagenstecher and Staudinger. The holotype is held by Zoologische Staatssammlung München.() which also holds the type of ''Ornithoptera schoenbergi'' Pagenstecher The specific epithet ''paradisea'', is the Persian word for Paradise. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ornithoptera paradisea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
