Dear @loarie, I don't know on what basis the current databases are not considering subsp. madagascariensis, but the global phylogeography by Hekkala et al. 2010 ( https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10592-009-9970-5.pdf ) showed a good partitioning of the whole Madagascarian subpopulations, even better than a lot of the otehr gegraphical subspecies of the continent...
Furthermore, not assigning the Madagascarian crocodyles to any subspecies is not useful and keeping the subspecies madagascariensis don't bother anyone.
Regards,
Errol.
Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
