Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| T. H. Worthy and D. V. Burley 2019 | A species of Ducula with tarsometatarsus much longer than the largest extant species (Du. galeata of the Marquesas and Du. goliath of New Caledonia) or the extinct Du. tihonireasini of Mangareva and Du. david of Uvea, but of equal length to those of Du. harrisoni of Henderson Island and Du. lakeba of Fiji (see Table 7). Tarsometatarsus is more robust than those of Du. harrisoni and Du. lakeba and all other large species of Ducula except that of Du. david, as defined by proximal width and maximal shaft width across the articular facet in fossa metatarsi I as a proportion of length (Table 7). The dorsal medial lineae intermusculari is weakly marked distal to the metatarsal facet, and the shaft is relatively compressed dorsal to fossa metatarsi I. |
