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.
