Ok I think I follow what your saying. But I’m still none the wiser.
I’ll try word it more directly.
Why do some tarantulas have different localities and not just a completely different name? A Honduran albo is no more alike a Nicaraguan than a Vagans is. Yet it shares the same “species” name. Why not just give it a different name?
