One specimen collected at Usina Sinimbu on 18 February 1957 (MZUSP 38945; Pinto & Camargo, 1961; Fig. 2 ), an unspecified number of individuals observed in Murici in the 1980s ( Teixeira et al., 1993), two birds observed at Fazenda Santa Justina in 2017 (LFS), and four birds mist-netted at the Murici Ecological Station between 2011 and 2019 are the only records of this rather rare dove in the PCE.
