Pitter, as a small note: the species system does not really support subspecies, therefore we usually identify it as the "main" species. Technically it is actually possible to create a sub species record, yet the system will see it as a species, not a subspecies. This is why we usually don't create a separate subspecies record.

However, you can of course still indicate the subspecies name in the title, like you did. Posted 5 years ago
