Comments. According to Orlova-Bienkowskaja (1998), S. iheringi is a junior symonym of S. daphnoides . However, a preliminary molecular-phylogenetic investigation (D. J. Taylor, personal communication) suggests an independent status for the South American populations, so S. iheringi is the name that should be applied only to the South American populations.
