Pigeons and Doves (Columbidae)
Barred Dove (Geopelia maugei) - HBW 4, p. 157
French: Géopélie de Maugé
German: Zebratäubchen
Spanish: Tortolita de Timor
Other common names: Timor Zebra Dove
Taxonomy: Columba Maugeus Temminck, 1811, Timor.
Despite superficial resemblances to Streptopelia, genus probably most closely related to bronzewing group (Phaps and allies), based on behaviour. Present species forms a superspecies with G. striata and G. placida, and all three have sometimes been considered conspecific. Specific name sometimes erroneously spelt maugeus or maugea; original spelling emended by Temminck himself in 1811. Possible race audacis of Tanimbar and Kai Is appears insufficiently distinct to merit recognition. Monotypic.
Distribution: Sumbawa E to Tanimbar Is (Lesser Sundas) and Kai Is (SE Moluccas). Also present on Tukangbesi Is (Tomea), where presumed to be feral.
