Remarks:
Status of dorsalis is uncertain, although there is some evidence that it should be regarded as a separate species (Jensen, Govindarajulu & Russello 2015). Starkey, Shaffer, Burke, Forstner, Iverson, Janzen, Rhodin & Ultsch (2003) revalidated dorsalis as a separate species, followed by others (e.g., Iverson, Meylan & Seidel in Crother (ed.) 2008; Dixon 2013). However, it was retained as a subspecies of picta by Fritz & Havas (2006).
