Oberholser's fruit dove was formerly placed in the genus Ptilinopus. A molecular genetic study published in 2014 found that the fruit dove genus Ptilinopus was paraphyletic.^[3] In a move towards creating monophyletic genera, nine species including Oberholser's fruit dove were moved from Ptilinopus to Ramphiculus.^[4]
