Hi Ray,

By the way Wulf, do you regard Leiopython hoserae Hoser 2000 as a valid taxon?, or merely as being no different to albertisi?

Look, you've again droped omiited an "i" at the end of YOUR species name...therefore I regard it as synonym by lapsus calami (typo error). Check the code *lol*

Yes Ray, even it's a pain in my a** I do accept L. hoserae as a available name and a valid species. But I do not accept your work on this species. You bearely meet the recommendations of the code describing this AMNH 107150 specimen from Wipim and the description is crab!

Can be distinguished by dorsal color and a larger average size....
I bet you've never done DNA analysis on them so you couldn't provide any data. AS well as "there are numerous other characters...." Which other characters are they? Scale count is equal to those specimen from the northern race. Right?!

So you will have to accept that people therefore critisize your work!

btw. Have you ever seen this AMNH 107150 specimen either personally or from a picture? And did you recognized that this specimen has only sixth to seventh supralabial entering the orbit (McDowell, 1975)? And are you sure that this taxon appears throughout the south of the dividing range? To many questions from you work, Ray. That's all.

take care,
Wulf
