The original scientist (Wilfred T Neill) named the goini subspecies after nine intergrade specimens found west of the Apalachicola River near Wewahitchka, FL. They did not examine any animals that today would have been considered pure "meansi".

The more recent work by Krysko examined hundreds of specimens over a wide area in the panhandle to redefine the subspecies and determine its full range.

That is to say, the original scientists didn't even have it half right, and a lot more work has been done in recent times to define this form.
