^Actually no, in MHF1, on the quest page, it will not identify that the monster is a subspecies. If I was going to fight the village Azure Rathalos in MHF1 at the volcano, the quest page will only say Rathalos on it. It wasn't until 2nd generation that the game distinguished between regular and subspecies.
