Taxonomic instability

This has undergone recent taxonomic revision. The Arhesiro was established in 2022 by Karaman, with Siro clousi as the species. Siro sonoma was transferred to this new genus, becoming Arhesiro sonoma. However, not all taxonomic databases have adopted this change, leading to parallel usage of Siro sonoma and Arhesiro sonoma in current literature and databases.

Data deficiency
