The only two contenders in this esoteric category are Kansas and
Oklahoma. Both are approaching 490 species and so are most likely
decades away from reaching 500. Also both of those states to a limited
extent have allowed some species to be added to the checklist at
"hypothetical" status. That is where things start to get murky and the
hair-splitting commences, and I have no taste for such a discussion. At
any rate, Colorado is well ahead of the competition, and the only
contending landlocked state likely to reach 500 species during the
lifetime of anyone reading this post.
