Sonoran Mountain Kingsnakes

Wouldn't "Sonoran Mountain Kingsnakes" be a better name for this Sub-Forum? It would include all pyromelana including knoblochi. I know woodini has been put into synonomy with pyro pyro, but people still use the term to indicate locale. The Utah Mountain Kingsnake's status is in question, but people still use the term to indicate locality as well. Sonoran Mountain Kingsnake would be a good umbrella to place these different sub-species' and localities under.

I agree or simply pyromelana. From the latest reports infralabialis is no longer recognized as it own species but rather a locale of pyro pyro. But your point is a good one in that "Arizona Mtn. King" leaves knoblochi out of the equation which is the only other recognized sub-species of pyromelana.
