New Guinea Scrubfowl © flickr.com

Known to hybridize with Melanesian Scrubfowl (Megapodius eremita) on Karkar I (off north-eastern New Guinea). Formerly considered polytypic, with acceptance of subspecies jobiensis, decollatus and huonensis. Name affinis may not be applicate to present species, in which case Megapodius decollatus would have priority.

No subspecies.
