groups with other members of the Tricolor Complex with high support in all analyses and specimens are less than 1% different in COI sequence from each other. In the combined analysis,

groups with
<taxonomicName lsidName="T. dimorpha" pageId="0" pageNumber="1" rank="species" species="dimorpha">T. dimorpha</taxonomicName>
to form a clade sister to all other eastern members of this complex. These species are greater than 11% from each other. Based upon overall similarity, short conical rostrum, long pedipalp tibiae, phylogenetic position, and distribution, we were able to place this species in the Tricolor Identification Group.
