Remarks:
The relationships of the various subspecies and isolated populations are obscure (Cogger 2014), but considered a single species herein,
based on the very low genetic divergence between different populations of this genus, and following several recent works
(e.g., Keogh, Scott & Hayes 2005; Wilson & Swan 2010; Cogger 2014), although some regard ater as a separate species
(e.g., Rawlinson 1991; Golay & al. 1993; David & Ineich 1999; Shea & Sadlier 1999; Wallach, Williams & Boundy 2014).
