groups with other members of the Raptor Complex with high support and specimens are less than 2% different in COI sequence from each other and greater than 9% from sister species. Placement of this species varied with analysis and was never well-supported. Furthermore, this species is not readily identifiable without keying, which does not warrant placement within an identification group.
