Subspecies
Some authors suggest that subspecies gigantea may merit treatment as separate species.
The following 2 subspecies are recognised:
undulata (Boddaert, 1783) - Western and eastern Colombia; Venezuela to extreme northern Brazil and probably east to the Guianas.
gigantea (Temminck, 1826) - Eastern Bolivia, Paraguay and south-eastern Brazil; probably also Uruguay and north-eastern Argentina.
