However, Bradley et al. (2000) analyzed the taxonomy of the subspecies P. boylii sacarensis Dickey, 1928 using DNA sequences from the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. As a result of this study, it is now considered as P. beatae (Bradley et al. 2000, 2017) (Table 1). Thus, specimens previously identified as P. b. sacarensis in Honduras should now be recognized as individuals of P. beatae . We verified the coordinates provided by Bradley et al. (2000), and the approximate coordinates corresponding to “ 2 mi NE El Hatillo ” and “ 10 mi SE Tegucigalpa ” and found them to be incorrectly attributed to the Olancho Department; these specimens belong to the department of Francisco Morazán. Cassola (2016) suggested the occurrence of P. beatae in other regions in western Honduras, but no tangible evidence corroborates this speculation.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4D528B8B401F50ED958D36C70425BBE7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Similarly, Musser (1969) indicated that the species cataloged as P. hondurensis Goodwin, 1941 by Goodwin (1942) also belonged to P. oaxacensis . Recently, Kilpatrick et al. (2021) treated P. oaxacensis as a subspecies of P. aztecus (Saussure, 1860) restricted to Mexico. Additionally, P. cordillerae refers to all members of the P. aztecus species group within the southeast of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and two subspecies have been provisionally proposed: one from the Cahuatique locality, as P. cordillerae cordillerae, and the other, P. cordillerae hondurensis for western Honduras (Table 2). Therefore, we should treat Honduran specimens referenced as P. oaxacensis, P. aztecus, P. aztecus oaxacensis, and P. hondurensis as pertaining to P. c. hondurensis (Musser 1969; Carleton 1979; Hall 1981; Kilpatrick et al. 2021). This group requires additional study in eastern Honduras and confirmation of its presence in other regions of the country. For example, Matson et al. (2016) identified P. oaxacensis (Table 2) based on its external morphology in the Sierra de Agalta National Park, situated in eastern Honduras, in the department of Olancho. This area is not part of the potential distribution proposed by Kilpatrick et al. (2021) which included the departments Choluteca, Comayagua, Copán, El Paraíso, Intibucá, Francisco Morazán, Ocotepeque, Santa Barbara, and Valle. Hence, it is crucial to verify these specimens and historical records before making any taxonomic reassignment.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/45F44110A56A5FBE81BCCB55BEF4F62C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In a subsequent review, Musser (1969) reexamined the collections presented by Goodwin in 1942 in Honduras and determined that individuals previously identified as P. guatemalensis tropicalis Goodwin, 1932 should be reclassified as P. m. saxatilis, both taxa being part of the P. mexicanus group. A recent taxonomic assessment conducted by Pérez-Consuegra and Vázquez-Domínguez (2015) significantly revised the P. mexicanus species group. Three junior synonyms were elevated to independent species status: P. tropicalis (formerly P. g. tropicalis), P. nicaraguae (previously P. mexicanus nicaraguae), and P. salvadorensis (Dickey 1928) (formerly P. mexicanus salvadorensis) (Table 3), these changes were based on the synonymy of P. m. saxatilis provided by Trujano-Álvarez and Álvarez-Castañeda (2010). Bradley et al. (2016) reported the northernmost locality in Honduras for this species in Capiro and Calentura National Park, without providing coordinates; therefore, it was approximated. However, the elevations in this area range from 600–1200 m a. s. l., suggesting that the species may occur at lower elevations in Honduras.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8E5F0BDD5B67547DA3BACAFE21070DDC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Recent research indicates the presence of two lineages in the country: “ lineage M ” and “ lineage L ”, both displaying cryptic morphometric characteristics indicating a possible undescribed species (Table 3; Pérez-Consuegra and Vázquez-Domínguez 2015). According to Pérez-Consuegra and Vásquez-Domínguez (2016), however, both lineages inhabit mid to high elevations. Nevertheless, the specimens from lineages M and L reported in Pérez-Consuegra and Vásquez-Domínguez (2016), originate exclusively from the Celaque National Park in western Honduras.</p><p>P. nicaraguae and P. salvadorensis may be cryptic within their distribution ranges (Pérez-Consuegra and Vásquez-Domínguez 2016); however, these species are currently considered allopatric because P. salvadorensis has only been confirmed in western Honduras, and P. nicaraguae is documented in the central-eastern region of the country.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/ED4C2F34D0165DA9ABE704C50D022A0C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(2022) reported that P. stirtoni forms a well-supported monophyletic lineage, but it is important to note its close relationship with lowland species, including the P. megalops group. In contrast, Bradley et al. (2016) considered P. stirtoni to be in the P. mexicanus group. Timm (2016) suggested that P. stirtoni might occur in La Paz, southern Comayagua, Lempira, Ocotepeque, and Intibucá departments, but this remains to be confirmed.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E4E4ABA2CBC359748A58E99D9186C9B5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
