Some authors recognized alticola as a species (Lidicker, 1968; Lidicker and Brylski, 1987; Tate, 1951), and Flannery (1995 a: 280) noted that " alticola differs in a number of ways from the typical form, and further research is needed to determine its true status. " Chromosomal data (2 n = 46) reported by Donnellan (1987).
