show a noticeable overlapping in the macroscopic characters normally used for identification purposes, such as: chaetotaxy, morphometry and the general pigmentation pattern. The relative difficulty to find the larvae in the field and their camouflaging behaviour make these light differences even more unsuitable. In particular, their camouflage is so effective that the different species are not recognizable if not artificially cleaned making visible the pigmentation pattern.
