CITES - Not Listed (2023). IUCN - Not Evaluated (raised from synonymy).
Previously included in hardwickii, but possibly distinct based on morphological and biogeographic considerations; see Tu et al. (2018). This taxon may be conspecific with crypta and that name has priority over malpasi. Requires additional investigation.
