Crotalus helleriCrotalus oreganus helleri – Reflects actual scientific name listed on ITIS. – The current agreed upon scientific name for this species is Crotalus oreganus helleri, not Crotalus helleri. This is listed on the Integrated Taxonomic Information System: https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=683065#null. ITIS reports the use of Crotalus helleri to be invalid: https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=209542#null. This accurately reflects that it is a subspecies. This name is also used by major government groups like FWS: https://www.fws.gov/species/southern-pacific-rattlesnake-crotalus-oreganus-helleri as well as field guides. Crotalus helleri should instead redirect to Crotalus oreganus helleri rather than the other way around. Hotdogsyrup (talk) 20:52, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
