They are not a new genus, they are not even a new species. From BMCDA's post to be found at #808 of this thread:
Yet the entire complex of populations belongs to a single taxonomic species, Ensatina escholtzii.
In summary, you have yet to give an example of macro-evolution on this thread. Keep trying though, maybe in another 150 years you will find one.
Note that the same article says specifically that the populations where the ring rejoins meet every definition of being a separate species. More creationist quote science! You just took the one sentence you wanted.
