Conservation: 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).

Discussion: Revised by Osgood (1918); subspecies listed by Hall (1981) and Williams et al. (1993), who placed psammophilus von Bloeker with P. inronatus instead of longimembris , where this taxon has usually been assigned ( Hall, 1981; Patton, 1993 b).
