Hello,

>If Elaphe guttata guttata is officially Pantherophis guttatus >guttatus (please correct me if I am wrong), then Great Plains >Rat snake is now Pantherophis guttatus emoryi?

In general, if a species (Elaphe guttata gutatta) is recombined (placed into another genus (i.e. Elaphe)), than all of its subspecies (Elaphe guttata ssp.) are recombined as well as long as not found distinct enough to be shifted to full species rank.
So, if guttata emoryi is still a valid subspecies, then, yes, it is P. guttatus emoryi.
Check out prior thread on this topic at this forum

There you can also find the relevant paper to the change in genus.

Cheers,
Wulf
