Subspecies
Sometimes considered to be a subspecies of either Sri Lanka Green-pigeon (Treron pompadora) or Thick-billed Green-pigeon (Treron curvirostra). Perhaps most closely allied to Thick-billed Green-pigeon (Treron curvirostra). Internal nomenclature of species has been much debated: Bonaparte's description was considered invalid, and replaced by a later description of same name by Wallace, attributable to Sulawesi, so nominate subspecies was applied to Sulawesi birds. Latter description may be pre-dated by one by Schlegel However, Bonaparte's description now considered acceptable, and thus reinstated by most authors. Several other subspecies proposed.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

  • sangirensis Brüggemann, 1876   -  Sangihe and Talaud Is.
  • wallacei (Salvadori, 1893)   -  Sulawesi and offshore islands to north-eastern (Manadotua, Manterawu, Bangka, Lembeh), eastern (Togian) and southern (Salayar, Muna, Butung, Tukangbesi, Tanahjampea, Kalao, Kalaotoa, Madu), and also Banggai Is (Peleng, Banggai) and Sula Is (Taliabu, Seho, Mangole, Sanana).
  • griseicauda Wallace, 1863   -  Java and Bali.
  • vordermani Finsch, 1901   -  Kangean Is.
  • pallidior (Hartert, 1896)   -  Kalao, Kalaotoa, Tanahjampea (between Sulawesi and Flores).
