Re: NFC: Luxilus cardinalis
Steve,
Was that for the disjunct population located in the Flint Hills
only? Or is the Cardinal Shiner simply a recently new classification
anyway. I ask this since to distinct populations (as I know you are
already aware) exist here. One, in the Spring River and Shoal Creek of
extreme SW Kansas, and the disjunct population in the Flint Hills region.
