Thanks Dave for the thoughtful post. While some might accuse me of leaning towards splitting by default, this really isn't true. So, rather than provide any...

David, Alex and others: My own opinion about the two Buckeyes (Junonia coenia and J.nigrosuffusa) is that there are two species involved but both readily ...
Mike, Do you mind if I ask what kind of research you are doing with the E. chalcedona complex? I ask because I'm increasing my interest in those doing dna...
Ken, all, I would be curious to hear how you decide whether one, two or several species based on your statement: "My own opinion about the two Buckeyes...
Jonathan: I based that comment on what I've read.and from my experience in the field with both coenia and nigrosuffusa. Junonia species tend to have weak...

Paul and Jonathan: Forty years ago, many believed that Junonia coenia was conspecific with "Precis orithya" of Africa. Gath & Tilden in their 1963 Yosemite...
Ken, This would seem to imply similar observations on both our parts, but differing definitions of a "species". To me your statement is good evidence that...
Paul, I don't have access to the paper you are talking about. I may have seen it (??), but the paper I saw did not deal with southwestern NA Junonia. It only...
