Note. Although S. cultor cultor is mentioned in Ratcliffe (2015c: 778) and Dupuis (2016b: 109), it is only mentioned as S. cultor in Dupuis (2017: 50) . This may be an error or a conscious decision, as S. cultor cultor is the only subspecies known from French Guiana. We are unaware of any publication reversing its status as a subspecies.
