constituted two distinct clusters separated on the PC 2 axis. Six characters with main loading on this axis were caudal-peduncle length, anal-fin length, dorsal-fin length, upper caudal-lobe length, pectoral-fin length and vent to anal-fin distance. Except for the last character, all of them exhibited differences in the morphometric comparisons. Table
