Other common names: Black-throated Fruit-dove, Leclancher's Pigeon
Taxonomy: Trerolaema leclancheri Bonaparte, 1855, New Guinea; error = Philippines.
Formerly placed in genus Leucotreron; a later proposal returned all members of that group to Ptilinopus, but placed present species in subgenus Rhamphiculus along with other Philippine and Sulawesi forms P. marchei, P. merrilli, P. occipitalis, P. fischeri and P. subgularis; characters of Rhamphiculus include relatively large size, and emarginated first primaries. Present species forms a superspecies with P. subgularis. Three subspecies recognized.
