Florida Orange Locality

What the name stands for

Three different things share one name. A culture is not a species, and a species is not the animals in your tub. Keeping them apart is how this site avoids repeating the trade's mistakes.

1. The culture

   A lineage kept in tubs and passed between keepers under one name. The name comes from the trade.

Notes

What would settle it

• Is the Florida Orange Locality the same species as the Spanish Orange?

  Identification Needs a specialist

  Why it matters. Both stocks are now called Yuukianura aphoruroides, but the Florida stock was first named from images alone. The seller keeps them apart by locality.

  What would help. Slide-mounted adults from both stocks, a COI barcode from each, and a record of where and when each was collected.
