Was just wondering if anyone knows much about these.Specifically if they have actually been classified as a new species or are they a variant of the Midas?

Mine has paired with My true Midas,here's a few pics

To my knowledge they have NOT been officially described (ecessary to be deemed a new species), but it may eventually be determined to be new. Short of that, I'd just consider it a variant of the citrinellus complex (which is how many current new species were once referred -- e.g. amarillo, xiloaensis, etc.).

Thanks Guys.I didn't think they had been officially described yet but thought I'd see if anyone else had heard.
