Specimens from the Sunbeam Hot Springs population (
Fig. 19F
) can be distinguished from all other populations of
Hydroscapha
examined by the combination of the narrow (almost triangular) shape of the tentorial bridge, the disc of the mesoventrite with distance between (rounded) lateral points equal to overall length,andthesmallestwingsofallIdaho

.
Fig. 20.
Sequences of a portion of the COI gene from three specimens of
Hydroscapha natans
and three of
Hydroscapha redfordi
. The first sequence is given in full; for later sequences, only those bases that differ from that in the first sequence are shown. If a sequence has the same base as that of the first sequence, a period (“.”) is shown. Gray shaded bases are those with fixed differences between
H. natans
and
H. redfordi
; the three larger, open rectangles show those codons for which
H. natans
has a different amino acid from
H. redfordi
.
