Subspecies
A few Australian and Oceanian taxa have been regarded as subspecies, but
the status of these is unclear; they are currently not regarded as
subspecies (
Stary and Oosterbroek 2008).
No subspecies are recognized, but it must be noted that the phylogeny
of this species and its many subtaxa has not been studied in any detail
and, therefore, some of the taxa in the synonymy below may actually
represent valid subspecies or species.
