Bry, in Biology, the defination of "Obsolete" can mean "Vestigial or imperfectly developed, especially in comparison with other individuals or related species; not clearly marked or seen; indistinct. Used of an organ or other part of an animal or plant." (source: Dictionary.com). I think that in the case of Elaphe Obsoleta, it is refering to the pattern on most black ratsnakes as "Not clearly marked or seen". Of couse I could be wrong.
