Not quite right either!



Although the validity and acceptance of subspecies is discussed controversy for over 20 years, they are meant to be more than just geographically isolated populations or such. An interesting paper can be found here: http://www.goodrumj.com/Smith.html



In the end it depends on the species concept one prefers. Some do accept the subspecific rank, others don't. But it would be wrong to say that the "subspecies concept" is not accuate!



Check the kingsnake.com taxonomy forum to learn more about subspecies and their acceptance and validity.
