Diagnosis | |
Comment | Synonymy: The status of U. irregularis remains unclear. Known from only one type specimen of unknown origin (in the ”highlands of Mexico”) which is now lost. Wiens (1993) speculates that it actually might be an aberrant U. bicarinatus or U. gadovi, a hybrid between these two, or a valid species. Not recognized as valid species by WIENS et al. 2013. We call it provisionally a “nomen dubium” until further clarification. Distribution: see map in Feldman et al. 2011 (only 1 locality shown). |
Etymology | Named after Hans Gadow, the collector of the holotype. |
