Monstera species/cultivar names

I believe most older books list the large, "Swiss Cheese Plant" or split-leaf Monstera as Monstera deliciosa. I understand now that most of the common forms, and the variegates, are actually Monstera borsighiana, correct?? Is it a subspecies, rename or distinct species. I am also seeing ebay plants and variegates, of similar/same appearance, as (working from memory, could be wrong) M. pertusa. Can anyone help clear up this name game for me?
