Treatment

Dorcopsis luctuosa D'Albertis 1874 , Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1874: 110.

Type Locality: "Southeast of New Guinea ".

Vernacular Names: Grey Dorcopsis.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Dorcopsis luctuosa subsp. luctuosa D'Albertis 1874

Subspecies Dorcopsis luctuosa subsp. phyllis Groves and Flannery 1989

Distribution: S New Guinea.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). Common.

Discussion: Usually included in D. veterum (= D. muelleri ), but see Groves and Flannery (1989). The subspecies phyllis (Fly River district) is highly distinctive; it appears to fall outside the range of variation of nominotypical luctuosa (Port Moresby district), and is probably a distinct species.
