The genus ''Ptiloris'' consists of three allopatric species of birds in the Paradisaeidae family. These birds of paradise are commonly known as riflebirds, so named for the likeness of their black velvety plumage to the uniform of the Rifle Brigade. Alternatively, the bird’s cry is similar to a rifle being fired and hitting its target〔 but a call like this is not commonly reported (see Behaviour and Ecology). They are distributed in the rainforests of New Guinea and Eastern Australia.〔 ==Species== *Magnificent riflebird, ''Ptiloris magnificus subsp. magnificus'' *Magnificent riflebird, ''Ptiloris magnificus subsp. intercedens'' *Magnificent riflebird, ''Ptiloris magnificus subsp. alberti'' *Paradise riflebird, ''Ptiloris paradiseus'' *Victoria's riflebird, ''Ptiloris victoriae'' 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「Ptiloris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
