How many species bearing one or more heterotypic subspecies lack the nominate subspecies in iNat taxonomy? Wouldn’t it be reasonable to suggest curators to create the nominate subspecies when dealing with such cases? Sorry in the case this issue has been already raised.

This topic discusses the opposite problem – species that have only the nominate and no other subspecies.
