Current SSAR Comments:
Based on phylogenetic analysis of morphological and molecular (mt and nDNA sequence) data, Solis-Zurita et al. (2019, Zoologica Scripta 48: 419–439) found the taxon formerly designated
S. variabilis marmoratus
to be relatively distantly related to
S. v. variabilis
, which was inferred to be more closely related to other taxa then recognized as separate species. They, therefore, recognized both taxa (as well as the former
S. v. olloporus
) as species.
