Evidence that has accu- mulated to date indicates that some of the forms occur sympatrically without losing their respective identities. This suggests that either more than one species is represented in P. boylei, or that there are complex interrelationships of an intergrading chain of forms in which interbreeding between morphologically diverse populations occurs in some places but not in others. Populations known by the names levipes, azteciis, evides, spicilegus, and simulus are cases in point. The status of the populations known as P. b. levipes is at the core of the problem of the interrelationships of the &o)'/e?-like popula-.
