While scrolling through some herp data bases I found a Heterodon species named Heterodon gloydi. After some more research I found that it was proposed as first a species, then a sub species of Heterodon nascius, to be Heterodon nascius gloydi but isn't recognized. I was wandering if anyone here knows some more about the history of the arrival and dismissal of the idea of Heterodon gloydi. Just some about the history for the purpose of reading, not about the generalized rules and what not of nomenclature like some may go on and on about instead of addressing the subject of Heterodon gloydi itself. If anyone knows anything more that was going on around the discussion of this as a species, or has any old journal links etc that have stuff about it, that would be great.
