Taxonomic note
Ptilinopus cinctus and P. alligator (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) were previously lumped as P. cinctus following Christidis and Boles (1994). Original note from Illustrated Checklists: Formerly placed in genus Leucotreron; sister-taxon of P. cinctus (which see), and sometimes considered conspecific; also appears to be closely related to P. dohertyi and P. porphyreus. Monotypic.

Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but is believed to be much greater than 1,000 individuals (Garnett et al. 2011). The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats (Garnett et al. 2011).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats (Garnett et al. 2011).
