"so, I still think they are splendida as they would've turned black already at those sizes...in my experience.



But I am one to think that mbks are melanistic splendida."





Yeah, I remember that post from a while back.



And I also agree that they are definite L.g.splendida or they would have darkened up BIG-TIME by now. I too believe the so-called "L.g.nigrita" is nothing more than a geographical clinal melanistic form of L.g.splendida...
