同種異名 (1):
- Vieja coatlicue Del Moral-Flores & Hernández-Arellano, 2018, 其模式產地在 Río Uxpanapa, poblado 11, Helio García Alfaro, Uxpanapa, Veracruz, Mexico (17°15'47.847.8''N,- 94°16'50.3''O). 鑑定者: McMahan et al., 2019
保育: Vieja zonata 被評鑑為國際自然保育聯盟瀕危物種紅皮書名單中的 (DD) 資料缺乏 (2018). Given the very large range of Vieja zonata and the relative stability of many of the locales where it dwells, there is currently little concern about the future of this species.
