Discussion: plicatus species group. Listed as a subspecies of plicatus by Laurie and Hill (1954), but subsequently recognized as distinct by most authors. Revised by Felten (1964 a), who included bregullae and solomonis ; also see Hill (1983). In contrast, Flannery (1995 a, b) treated bregullae and solomonis as distinct species based on morphological differences. The latter arrangement is provisionally followed here.
