Related Species
The two subspecies earlier were classified as distinct species (e.g. Ridgway 1916, Peters 1937).
The genus Geotrygon appears to be at or near the base of a clade of columbids that includes all New World taxa (and some Old World genera) (Pereira et al. 2007, Johnson and Weckstein 2011). Relationships within Geotrygon have not been studied in detail.
