FWIW, while I appreciate the discussion in the flag comments, and the fact that you performed such thorough consultation before committing this, I'd also appreciate a brief description here in the taxon change record about why this is happening, and some sourcing, e.g. here the source should probably be Amphibian Species of the World, but mentioning https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18625326 might be worth it too. Not everyone is willing to delve into an extensive discussion thread, and the only content that gets shared on dashboards and in emails is the taxon change description.
