Yes, they can breed together. They are different species, same Genus. Both are such beautiful animals, many would argue that hybrids are not as desireable...perhaps you could find similar phenotype mates for each? Others like hybrids, and they would probably produce pretty offspring. Good luck, be sure to post photos of the offspring if you decide to breed L.z.m.X L.p.
FR, if you read this, perhaps you could post a photo of this cross that you did back in the '70's?

Not really a hybrid. I like tonyD descriptions below:

Hybrid - prodigy from captive breedings that cross species or generic lines. Example: Jungle corns.
Natural Hybrid - rare but naturally accruing prodigy from breedings that cross species or generic lines. Examples: red X yellow rats in GA.
Crosses - Prodigy from captive breedings that cross sub specific lines. Example: Apalachicola king X eastern king.
Integrade - Prodigy from natural breedings that cross sub specific lines. Example: classic blotched phase goini.
Locality specific - Any animal captive-bred or wc that has a credible claim to the local of original collection.

Why not really a hybrid? Doesn't an L. zonata x L. pyromelana mating cross species lines?
Personally, I just use subspecies cross, species cross, and generic cross.

Of course it's a hybrid. You are crossing two seperate species zonataXpyromelana.

No pics, they are buried about as deep as king tuts tomb.
But I totally agree with you, unless your very lucky, the offspring will not be as nice as either of the adults. So its not an advisible cross. FR
