Aspidites ramsayi panoptes Hoser, 2000 [synonym of Aspidites ramsayi]

Synonyms:

Aspidites ramsayi richardjonesii - Hoser 2000

Holotype:

WAM R43459.

Type locality:

Burracoppin, Western Australia.

Remarks:

Distinguished from "the main race" by lower average ventral and subcaudal scale counts (citing Barker and Barker [1994: 5] in support of this claim), color darkening above the eye in adults, and "from all other Womas by distribution" ( Hoser 2000: 10) (APP1, APP2). Because of the vague description of this taxon, specimens cannot be unambiguously assigned to this taxon. The name is placed into the synonymy of Aspidites ramsayi .
