What's the back story here? Were they commonly known to be E frantzii at that time?

From what I understand, our guides thought it was a newly discovered population they'd just found - & then this pre-publication showed up. I've heard that some of the guides have been in contact with the authors, so perhaps additional data may end up being added for final publication.
