In Reply to: A question on leopard frogs. posted by John Hollister on October 14, 1998 at 18:36:59:
: To be honest it is probably that I am incorrect.
Or that the data I had on species is not recent enough.
Also "Florida" was listed as a common name for this sub-species it does not reflect the entire range of the animal.
For example, Florida cottonmouth is also present in GA...etc.
: : J. Rana pipiens (Northern leopard frog)*
: : K. Rana utricularia (Southern leopard frogs)
: : 1.R.u.utricularia (southern)*
: : 2. R.u.sphenocephala (Florida)
: : L. Rana blairi (Plains leopard frog)*

: Thanks for the list. I'm not a taxonomist and have a question on the S. leopard frog.
: We show them in Texas as R. Spenocephala, not as a subspecies of Utricularia. Also you show R. u. spenocephala as in FL only. What gives?
: Is Texas wrong, or is it Indiana? Or both?
