Without getting into "species" or "subspecies", IMHO, animals from the published range in popular field guides are pretty recognizable from morphology.
As you know, the real rub comes from East Texas, and especially from SE OK and SW AR, where morphologists and cladists still have some issues.
As you mentioned, habitat is everything and the word integrade is not used enough.
