Rearranged as a subspecies of N. albigula by Goldman (1910), but specific status defended by Edwards et al. (2001) based on phylogenetic analysis of cytochrome-b sequences. Hybridization (reported as N. albigula) suspected with N. micropus in Colorado (Finley, 1958) and apparent intergradation of the two in Coahuila (Anderson, 1969); sister species to N. micropus supported by mitochondrial DNA data (Edwards et al.,...
