Thanks Joe. Yeah, I sifted through a big bucket full of those things and could hardly make up my mind on which pair I wanted they were all so dang awesome looking and colorful!..LOL!
I agree, VEEERY syspila looking indeed!. I have never been able to see much in the way of Eastern triangulum in these things myself, but the range says it isn't real probable..LOL!
Very possibly isolated relict populations from syspila x elapsoides intergradation when the country and ranges were far different long, LONG ago..
What's really weird about those things is that there is no distinct swath of intergrade phenotypes anywhere, just a few pockets here and there of their own entity......weird!
