Specimens examined from Peru tended to be smaller with the dark coloration mottled and usually confined to punctures; head more broadly rounded. Those from Colombia were larger, the dark markings tended to coalesce into distinct vittae with more impunctate or concolorously punctate areas, and the head was more narrowly round-ed. Specimens intermediate between these two morphs were seen; the male genitalia were relatively consistent among all specimens.</paragraph>
