: Iguana iguana rhinolopha has not been considered a separate species anymore and has not been for a long time . It was not widely recognized by most anyway . Rhinolopha or the growth of small " horns " on the nose is a geographical trait but in no way denotes a separated species .

Sub-species, and yes, I did concur that it is not considered valid.

Do you have a reference into the removal of the sub-species? Last I have heard, and seen on taxonomical sites, it is still active. (Though as I wrote, simply because Iguana iguana has not be re-worked)
