Recent studies concluded that L. diffusus should be emended to apply only to populations in the Florida panhandle and nearby states (Nevado et al. 2024; Bridges & Orzell 2024). Two related studies proposed alternative taxonomies: 1) L. cumulicola should be reinstated and its circumscription expanded to include all peninsular Florida populations along with recognition of infraspecific taxa (Nevado et al. 2024) or 2) recognize the peninsular Florida populations as four separate species (Bridges & Orzell 2024). (See also: Small 1933; Dunn 1971; Isely 1990; Duncan & McCartney 1992).
