It is clear that P. owyheei represents northern populations of a 
single, variable species and is therefore a synonym of P. salinus. As 
can be seen from Figures 24, 27, 28, 31, 34 and 36, there are no 
distinct and consistent steps in the dines of the characters studied. 
This makes the recognition of subspecies difficult and of little value 
in this species.
