Comment:
This taxon was designated with a single star by Söderström et al. (2016), indicating "There are doubts about the value of the taxon. It can be that there are conflicting views without any substantial evidence in any direction, conflicting views with substantiating evidence supporting one or both positions, or evidence pointing towards synonymization but it is premature to do it."
