<paragraph pageId="35" pageNumber="48">As it is likely that this species represents a cryptic species complex, measurements were only included from specimens exhibiting less than 2% COI divergence within the clade (those highlighted in red in Fig. 23 were excluded). This was done so measurements would remain useful if more species were diagnosed in the future.</paragraph>
