Current SSAR Comments:
See note on H. lacerata concerning the recognition and standard English name of this species. The authors cited in that note also found reciprocal monophyly in the mtDNA of northwestern and southeastern populations within H. subcaudalis but did not propose taxonomic recognition of those populations.
