is derived from the name of the Changeling in the popular television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine because this species has variable morphology. This name is to be used as a noun in apposition.
were originally split into two provisional species. This was based upon differences in the relative length of the wings, specifically, whether the wings reached beyond the apex of the metasoma. Figure 67 illustrates the relationship between body size and wing length: larger specimens indeed have relatively shorter wings. However, there is no distinctive gap in the ratio between the two. Therefore, we treat them here as a single species.
The trend line is calculated based on data for all specimens combined. The continuity in both variables and the overlap in specimens divided a priori into small and large categories led to the conclusion that there is insufficient evidence to separate these specimens into two species.
