Manucode (subfamily)

Manucodes are birds-of-paradise in the subfamily Phonygamminae, that are medium-sized with black-glossed purple and green plumages.

The members of this subfamily are distributed in the lowland forests of New Guinea and nearby islands. They are monogamous and sexually monomorphic, in contrast to most birds-of-paradise.

The name Manucodia is derived from Javanese "manuk dewata"; "manuk" means bird and "dewata" means gods.
