You cannot go by the examples pictured in Markel's book at all, those are total CRAP, and do not represent them well in the least. The one pictured for "oligozona" is at best, a stuarti intergrade, it has FAR, FAR too many RBR to come even close to being a genuine pure form oligozona.



Also, the polyzona example in Markel's book is horrible for depicting that subspecies as well. That example had strong abnorma influence to say the least.



The text is correct, just as in "systematics", but some of the photo's depicting the mentioned ssp are absolutely horrible.



You can thank Bill Lamar for alot of that..LOL!
