What is the general consensus on the taxonomy of O. annulata, and whose works are being followed
most often now. Tursch, et. al. breaks it up into 3 distinct species, O. amethystina, O. mantichora,
and O. maculata. Sterba appears to follow suit stating "clearly separable species within the species
complex of well known O. annulata, Gmelin, 1811). Hunan, et. al. goes backwards and lumps them
all back together.

I was wondering what all you feel is the best way to classify this complex with the recent release of
Hunan, et. al.
