 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: U.S. ESA - Endangered as P. l. pacificus. IUCN - Critically Endangered as P. l. pacificus, Vulnerable as P. l. brevinasus, Data Deficient as P. l. bangsi and P. l. internationalis; otherwise Lower Risk (lc)  
    Comments: Revised by Osgood (1918); subspecies listed by Hall (1981) and Williams et al. (1993), who placed psammophilus von Bloeker with P. inornatus instead of longimembris, where this taxon has usually been assigned (Hall, 1981; Patton, 1993b)
