 Comments
       
  Comment: Smith et al. (2018) do not delimit subspecies within Sylvilagus brasiliensis. Note that Ruedas et al. (2017), Ruedas (2017), Smith et al. (2018), and Diersing & Wilson (2019), indicate that additional work remains to allocate names/taxa not part of S. brasiliensis sensu stricto, and to delimit related taxa
