[QUOTE="Opaul8, post: 184597, member: 34180"] I guess 30 years ago this old skool taxonomy would have convinced anyone! Just now everyone looks to dna analysis for the confirmation. I have no idea how it works, but maybe comparing to just one specimen will show differences in its dna. Rather than 4/5 different specimens from different areas would give more a "general" or "mean" baseline data comparison. I guess now the d.na analysis will be viewed in a different way with more light shed on its likeliness to the holotype, we should now have the mindset to look for things that match rather than look at the differences and simply say "it's not it" I guess everyone wants to be the first to discover H. Hercules, but it will be a team effort needed. I guess also though it may "just have to do" as these things are as good as alien to the hobby and maybe looking too far into its dna for answers may just cloud our judgements and put doubt on the answers and proof we have already found on this species.
