Subspecies aemilea, blanca, and nevada would go under species T. nevada.
Subspecies mexicana would get swapped into species T. mexicana as a now-monotypic taxon.
I've set up draft changes for all 4 subspecies to do this.
This looks good to me. To commit this I think you want to:
1) activate nevada (so the active parent validation will pass in step 2)
2) commit the ssp swaps
3) commit the split
Thanks for all the hard work on this and going through all the onerous steps involved!
Also looks like somehow US got added to the mexicana atlas (https://www.inaturalist.org/atlases/36326) I just deleted it but please double check before committing step 3 since these can be changed by others
Thanks for catching the atlas change! All steps have been completed for the split.
nice work!
This flag is to discuss potentially splitting T. mexicana
