 The members of the striatus complex hybridize freely in zones of contact, but the levels of hybridization vary and overlaps between populations are extensive without obvious interbreeding. 
These forms might be treated as a species complex or, as here, as subspecies of a single species.

 Christidis and Schodde (1991. Australian Jour. of Zoology 39:709-718) used protein electrophoresis to assess genetic variation in S. frontalis. 
The Tasmanian subspecies (humilis) is the most divergent and the data suggest that humilis is a separate species.  Among mainland forms the S. Australian Mt. Lofty Ranges population (rosinae) was the most divergent. 
The other five mainland subspecies 
laevigaster, frontalis, maculatus, mellori, balstoni
differed by amounts often found in populations at the level of subspecies.
