Pied Imperial-Pigeon (Ducula bicolor), White Imperial-Pigeon (Ducula luctuosa) (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) and Yellowish Imperial-Pigeon (Ducula subflavescens) (Sibley and Monroe 1993) are retained as separate species. Ducula spilorrhoa and Ducula constans (Sibley and Monroe 1993) are lumped into Torresian Imperial-Pigeon (Ducula spilorrhoa), because Christidis and Boles (1994) do not recognize Kimberley Imperial-Pigeon (Ducula constans) (an Australian endemic) as a separate species, including it with spilorrhoa, subflavescens and luctuosa as a subspecies of bicolor.

No subspecies.
