A Reevaluation of the Status of the Foxsnakes Pantherophis gloydi Conant and P. vulpinus Baird and Girard (Lepidosauria)

Figure 1

The approximate distributions of the two recognized lineages of foxsnakes since Conant [1]. As previously understood, the darker shaded area is the range for Pantherophis gloydi and the lighter shaded area is the range for P. vulpinus. The numbers depict sample localities used in the study. See Table 1 for detailed locality information. Note the geographic disjunction between the two distributions. This disjunction stood as a key reason for the separation of the lineages.
