Subspecies
In past, sometimes placed in genus Sphenurus. Closely allied to Sumatran Green-pigeon (Treron oxyurus) and Yellow-vented Green-pigeon (Treron seimundi), and these species may form a link between the African and other Asian Treron species. More distantly related to the Wedge-tailed Green-Pigeon (Treron sphenurus) species-group.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

apicauda Blyth, 1846 - Himalayan foothills from Kumaon to eastern Assam and south-western China (southern Sichuan, north-western and southern Yunnan) and southern Myanmar (Tenasserim).
