Additional proposed subspecies granti (described from area inland from Huon Gulf) sometimes recognized, but probably better considered a linking population between intermedia and augustaevictoriae. Subspecies intermedia and augustaevictoriae hybridize in region of lower Mambare R.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

• salvadorii Mayr & Rand, 1935   -  Southern and south-eastern New Guinea from Fly/Strickland watershed eastern (extending into interior highland valleys, e.g. Wahgi and Tari Valleys) to Cloudy Bay.
• augustaevictoriae Cabanis, 1888   -  Upper Ramu R and Huon Peninsula (and interior valleys to south, i.e. those of Markham, Wafa, Watut and Bulolo rivers), and also south-east to Waria R watershed and coastally to lower Mambare R.
• intermedia De Vis, 1894   -  Northern coast of south-eastern New Guinea from lower Mambare R east to Collingwood Bay.
• raggiana Sclater, 1873   -  Southern watershed of south-eastern New Guinea from Cloudy Bay east to Milne Bay, and into northern watershed as far as Goodenough Bay or Cape Vogel.
