Whats the difference pricewise to L. macklotti. Can they be distinguished from each other. Just curious and not trying to downgrade your great new acquistition.

Here's an example of the Macklots available here. 
Kluge would be the first I've heard to list them as the same species. I would think that is a definate taxonomical mistake.

| | Suspended | Join Date: Feb-04 Location: Sydney | | | | Me too! I apologise. Its just something that I had been wondering about for a while. I dont have a lot of lit on OS species and had assumed that they would be very similar in appearance. I have to say though that the macklots doesnt look that hot. I did see a pic of a Timor once but cant really remember it.
