Hi,
BTW, it´s not for sure, that the two numbers are different species. L 18, L 81, L 85 and L 177, ...
Youth and adult coloration (L 18 and L 81/85 are for sure the same species), or only different types of coloration maybe.

Of course it's not sure, they aren't described species!

I do indeed, but some readers may not.
I was re-iterating the point (that should be made more often) that an l-number is not an indication of a seperate species and that until these l-number is formally described or "re-discovered" then it remains to be seen what is a new species and what is not.
