Subspecies
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.

Forms a distinctive superspecies with Torresian Imperial-Pigeon (Ducula spilorrhoa) and Pied Imperial-Pigeon (Ducula bicolor). All three species have at times been considered conspecific. Other authors recognize up to five species. Further study is required. Range apparently overlaps with that of Pied Imperial-Pigeon (Ducula bicolor) in northern and central Sulawesi (e.g. Gorontalo, Bumbulan), where the two are segregated by habitat preferences.

No subspecies.
