释义

manucode|ˈmænjʊkəʊd|
[a. F. manucode (Buffon), short f. mod.L. manucodiāta: see next.]
†a. A bird of paradise (obs.).
b. Any bird of either of the genera Manucodia and Phonygama, inhabiting the Papuan region, and formerly classed with the Birds of Paradise.
The F. manucode was originally applied to all the birds of the old genus Manucodiata (the genus Paradisea of Linnæus), and in this use was occas. employed by English writers. The generic name Manucodia (? a misprint for Manucodiata) was used by Boddaert 1783 in describing a species since discovered to belong to a distinct genus, for which English ornithologists adopted Boddaert's name. In English manucode was then restricted to the birds of this genus, which has since been divided into two.
