Taxonomy notes

split from P. aztecus; this species was, until recently, known under the name oaxacensis, but that name is now included back under P. aztecus after a recent revision finding that some populations previously under P. oaxacensis actually represented P. aztecus, which included the type locality for the name oaxacensis, leaving the name cordillerae as the oldest available name for this species
