Not like everyone hasn't already seen this but...

"The taxon ruthveni was also recognized as a distinct species because it is a diagnosable allopatric entity. However, it has strong genetic affinities to sayi - some ruthveni are more closely related to sayi than to other ruthveni. Thus P. ruthveni may not be monophyletic, which calls into question its status as a distinct species."
