Those latter authors noted that the discordance among morphometric, genital, molecular, and chromosomal character suites in distinguishing samples of the three Ethiopian species may reflect a mosaic pattern of evolution. Character discordance, however, has not been an unappreciated reality to generations of working systematists, as many morphologically similar sets of species can only be distinguished by a combination of traits.
