Gymnetis caseyi - new species name

[Goliathus]

I've just been informed that Gymnetis caseyi has recently been re-named Gymnetis thula (Ratcliffe, 2018):

By the way, has anyone here ever seen a thula quite like this one? -

I've been around for several yrs, and every time someone buys Gym grubs from Peter it's always the standard morph.

That specimen shown on BugGuide is an unusual colour variant from the far southern tip of TX (Brownsville).  Whether this variant turns up regularly in that area, or if this specimen is rather unique, I have no idea.
