I'd say more same, much more same, probably identical than different :) but I'd probably fail this test?

I concluded that they aren’t the same, and there is a geographic pattern in the difference. Then again, the type series consists of both forms.

Was the type series collected from both drainages?

The type series comes from one drainage. The geographic pattern I alluded to was a difference in distribution within the same drainage.
