Remarks: This name has been spelled as “ storkáni,” but diacritics are not allowed in scientific names (Article 32.5.2); S. v. storkani was omitted by Bücherl (1974). Verhoeff (1934) also proposed two varieties of this race — ouayamas & tropica — that have no standing in nomenclature and are invalid (see ensuing list).
