Six additional subspecies are recognized, of which the following are described as new:A.aberratus assiniboiarius, prairies of Canada;A.orciferarius baffinensis, Baffin Island;A.o.churchillensis, Churchill, Man.; andA.o.occidentalis, Yukon and Alaska.A.sibiricusDjakonov is sunk as a doubtfully valid subspecies ofA.tayloraeCurtis and the latter is distinguished specifically fromA.orciferarius.Keywords
