All of the D. m rubidus in my collection were produced in captivity. I was simply lucky enough to look in the right place at the right time, as several were acquired from folks with single specimens, here in the US and Europe, and I acquired a group of 2.2 from a breeder wishing to focus on D. couperi only.
You might be surprised to learn there were quite a few D. m rubidus being produced in the US during the 80's and early 90's, but most of the folks working with them moved along to other projects, as there just didn't appear to be an interest in the ssp. at the time. If memory serves me correctly, Bill Corwin, David Neske, John Rossi, Chuck Elliot and a few others produced D. m rubidus at one time or another.
Best regards,
Jeff
