Habitat:
This species occurs in primary, secondary and logged forest up to 600 m (Gibbs 1993, Poulsen and Frolander 1994, Eastwood 1996b, B. Beehler and S. van Balen in litt. 2000, M. Van Beirs in litt. 2000, Beehler and Pratt 2016).
Range:
Tanysiptera riedelii is endemic to the twin islands of Biak-Supiori off Papua (formerly Irian Jaya), Indonesia (Beehler et al. 1986). It is sometimes considered to be a subspecies of Common Paradise-kingfisher T. galeata but there are significant morphological differences (Forshaw 1985, Sibley and Monroe 1990, Sibley and Monroe 1993). It is reported to be fairly common (Beehler and Pratt 2016).
Conservation:
Conservation Actions Underway
The species is assumed to be present in the 110 km2 Biak-Utara protected area and throughout the 420 km2 Pulau Supiori Nature Reserve (UNEP-WCMC 2021a,b), both of which comprise virtually impenetrable limestone areas (Wikramanayake et al. 2002).
Conservation Actions Proposed
Obtain a direct population estimate for the species. Survey to confirm its presence in the Biak-Utara protected area.
