Conservation: IUCN 2003 and IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Includes fortis, milleri , debilis, and tropidorhynchus; see Varona (1974). Called major by Hall and Kelson (1959) and Cabrera (1958) but see Husson (1962). Does not include aztecus , barnesi , coibensis , cherriei , and lambi ; see Dolan (1989) and Simmons and Voss (1998). Includes daulensis, but see Albuja (1982). Antillean populations reviewed by Genoways et al. (1981) and Timm and Genoways (2003). Records from the Florida Keys may have resulted from transportation by humans; see Frank (1997). M. pygmaeus may represent a distinct species, possibly including populations from Guyana; see Lim and Engstrom (2001). This complexis desperately in need of revision.
