Subspecies
Two subspecies are currently recognized. As they have deep genetic divergence and differing vocalizations, they may be candidates for future species splits:[2]
- E. f. fallax – Sclater, 1861: found in Jamaica
- E. f. cherriei – Cory, 1895: found in Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti)
gollark: That is definitely a concern, I guess. Nobody has complained about it so far, but it's hardly widely-used.
gollark: Well, for the first issue, you can copy the file link in the message, I can't really do much about the second one.
gollark: I should really try and... test it more, or something?
gollark: Maybe the ND section should have my egg time finder extension thing? It's pinned in the <#331291747059630082> channel.
gollark: Apparently I'm hatchling-locked for another 21 hours. Annoying!
