Wow thank you for that! The elimination of a lot of subspecies across the board has created a lot of confusion and dispute among the herpetological community so I can't imagine the problems non-herper state officials must be having trying to decipher this problem. I was discussing this same issue about pyromelena, as virtually all subspecies seem to have been abolished, and from what you have stated I'm sure the motivation behind the change in taxonomy was similar. Thank you again for your insight as you have added considerable pieces to this modern day puzzle.
