Curiously disjunct distribution largely accounts for frequent treatment of race astec as distinct species, incorporating race vicinalis. Three subspecies normally recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- vicinalis (Bangs & Penard, 1919) - NE Mexico.
- astec (Souancé, 1857) - Caribbean slope from SE Mexico to W Panama.
- nana (Vigors, 1830) - Jamaica.
