"You said they don't look much like the ones you see up in New Mexico but aren't most of them up there full of Gentilis influence?
In the past I have kept and worked with some different locales of milks from New Mexico and they are way more like Gentilis in my book than they are like the celaenops from the Big Bend area."
Honestly, the celaenops in New Mexico transition from examples that are reminiscent of those found in parts of west Texas all the way to specimens similar to textbook gentilis (with some even crazier phenotypic stops on the way). My point was that the holotype for celaenops is from Dona Ana county, NM... so is it that celaenops in New Mexico have gentilis influence, or is it that celaenops in west Texas have annulata influence?
