I don't believe there is a scale count difference between woodini and pyro pyro. I think the reason they were separated from pyro pyro was due to wider than average white rings and less than average white rings (less than 42). As you know, not all Huachuca pyros fit that description.
I believe infralabialis was also dropped due to the fact that many animals in their range didn't fit the definition while other animals well outside the range did fit the definition. Many pyros from the Black Range in New Mexico could keyed out as infralabialis. It would seem that the lower labial scale counts are more common in the far northern and eastern extremes of the range of pyro pyro.
