Another reason for corroborating the taxonomic status of G. cumberlandius is the current political sensitivity of the Cumberland Island population, which is a possible candidate for state and/ or federal endandered status. MATERIALS AND METHODS All available specimens of G. cumberlandius (N = 73) were exam- ined: Cumberland Island (8, AMNH; 5, CMNH; 1, CU; 13, DMNH; 26, MCZ; 11, NMNH; 9, UGAMNH). These were compared to 157 speci- mens of mainland G. pinetis from the following five populations in east Georgia: Adam (41, MCZ), and Augusta (4, FSM; 11, NMNH), Rich- mond County; Hursman's Lake (25, MCZ), Screven County; Kingsland (6, FSM; 35, NMNH), and Scotchville (8, AMNH; 10, MCZ; 17, NMNH), Camden County.
