Concerning message #15674:

Hi Bill,
I have collected specimens of Philinopsis speciosa from Hawaii and, like Cory, have found light and dark colored individuals together and have observed them mating. I also have dissected specimens and can find no difference anatomically between P. speciosa and P. cyanea. I am pretty convinced they are synonyms.
