Notes:
The name risoria was given by Linnaeus to a domestic variety of African Collared-Dove S. roseogrisea (Sundevall, 1857, K.Vet.-Akad.Handl. n.s., 2 no.1 art.3 p.54), but this contradicts Peale’s description of the range which matches Eurasian Collared-Dove S. decaocto. The identity of Peale’s specimen is unknown.
