Reviewed by Crucitti (1976); see also Maeda (1982), Hill (1983), Harrison and Bates (1991), Kock (1996), Bates and Harrison (1997), Cardinal and Christidis (2000), Conole (2000), Horácek et al. (2000), and Hendrichsen et al. (2001b). Subspecies boundaries are not always clear (e.g., see Hill [1983] and Yoshiyuki [1989]), and some populations have not been allocated to subspecies. Sometimes misspelled schriebersi, but see Bogdanowicz and Kick (1998) for correct spelling (schreibersii). This complex probably includes more than one species. |
