Comment:
Smith et al. (2018) presents two alternate taxonomic approches to identifying subspecies within Sylvilagus andinus. The approach not currently followed in ITIS comprises six valid supspecies: S. a. andinus, canarius, carchensis, chimbanus, chotanus, and nivicola. Silva et al. (2019) note that, 'contrary to the most recent morphometric analyses focused on Central America and the north Andean region (Diersing and Wilson 2017), our results support the hypothesis of Ruedas et al. (2017) that S. andinus (Thomas, 1897) is a distinct species-level taxon that does not cluster with Central American S. brasiliensis specimens, nor within the S. brasiliensis group'
