Could just be a locale thing and thats why I like locality animals so much.No mater what they really are they are locale.I just can see the splendida influence in them so it is a intergrade in my book and when seperated enough for a long enough time I believe that they are a true sub.But who really knows.
See, with the mendotas and davis kings etc.. you have normal looking black and whites mixed in and on either side so its just a locale specific morph for whatever reason.They have evolved to look like that for some unknown reasons like predation or something funky.
If you go east to west in the lower part of the states starting in east texas you have speckled kings that run into splendida that run into cal kings ( and a bit of nigrita) that then run into cali's.I just think that they are seperated enough and have a large enough range of there own to be a sub.
