, in the same kind of habitat, at two sites only a few km apart. Possibly the range of overlap is much larger than previously described. Both subspecies differ considerably from each other morphologically, and probably genetically, but are treated as ssp. by Mungai (1987) based on hybridization tests. Hybridization provides evidence of incomplete isolation during the speciation process. Following

subspecies should be considered entities that occupy a particular geographical sector of species distribution, present a natural history and distinct genes from other subspecies. Thus, only a clearly isolated population may be considered taxonomically separated. Further study should reveal whether both subspecies should be given full species status, or that the morphological differences lie within the variability of the same taxon, or that our specimen from
