"Goini" was sunk by Blaney in the 70s, and the population designated a relict intergrade between Eastern and Florida kings.

The reasoning behind not using the name "goini" was that what Neill described as "goini" is now understood to be an intergrade population with "getula". It was because of the semantics of naming conventions that they had to come up with a new name.

Personal I would have preferred they use the name "goini", as that is what we were all familiar with.
